| 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For some reason that little market had nothing but out of date Charlton comics, many 3/4 covers !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 . |
