It's a good thing for Major Dunne that Gorgo doesn't hold a grudge against humanity! Kim L. Neidigh

Charlton reused first page splash panel art from issue #1 for the cover, but alas, no Ditko between the covers.
I remember very well getting very disappointed and stopped buying this title until I stumbled upon " Reptilicus and "Reptisaurus " in the two foot stack of Charlton comics on the counter at the local mom n' pop. The I started buying 'em again!
For some reason that little market had nothing but out of date Charlton comics, many 3/4 covers ! Ah those were the days!

This picture deserved to be a cover rather than just a splash. It's the ultimate Ditko Charlton Critter image. Boy, I'd like to have the original art to this one!

Yep, the cover is a splash pulled from the first page of GORGO #1. The more vibrant ink on the cover really makes the image pop. Too bad there's no Ditko interior art .
A marine major is selected to become the first man to orbit the moon. After his capsule returns to Earth, he crashes into the sea near a sleeping Gorgo and his mother. Gorgo befriends the marine and lets him ride on his head. The marine eventually guides Gorgo to New York City so he can return home.
After being defeated by Earthlings in the great Earth/Mars war of 1997, the Martians plan revenge in 2038 via a carefully constructed ambush. But Earth's military was on to them and thwart their plans.
