The covers above all feature giant apes, giant gorillas that are almost but not quite the ultimate giant--the mighty Kong!
King Kong is the ultimate monster movie, the source. It's seen often as an artifact of its time today, its power lost somewhat as technology and the sophistication of the audience have made it seem quaint. But the clarity of the storytelling and the purity of the characterization make it ring clearly even today.
I'm hoping to spend a few days on King Kong.
Rip Off
