The mighty Grogg proves to be one of the mightiest weapons against the Soviet machine. The monster dragon Groog is first roused from the secrets of Russian folklore in the pages of Strange Tales #83 with the intent to use him as a weapon for the Soviets, but when he proves unreliable the top agent in charge attempts to sacrifice the learned man who has raised Grogg against his will. That fellow turns Grogg against the machinery of the state. Later in Strange Tales #87 the monster created by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers the mighty Grogg is revived and this time sent to the depths of space, Mars to be exact to forestall the expansion of Soviet power.
Grogg is a dragon and flails a bit in the shadow of the more famous Fin Fang Foom. But there's no doubt he's a doughty foe himself.
More Kirby monsters tomorrow.
Rip Off
