This collection titled The Return of Gorgo gathers together all of the fantasy work by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko produced during 1961. This is the year in which both Gorgo and Konga were launched. The team produced three Gorgo stories in this time as well as three Konga stories. Ditko drew three Gorgo covers and one Konga cover in that year.
In addition, there are the remaining Captain Atom stories produced by the team, the last until the good Captain's revival some years later. (Much more on that next month.) We also get a nifty assortment of fantasy tales, most with a whimsical flavor. Ditko was working for Marvel at this same time, so his output in 1961 was incredible. It was about to get even more so in the coming year. But more on that later still. The volume also includes a biography of Joe Gill and an informative timeline of the work of Steve Ditko, some of it by Ditko himself.
Below are the covers reprinted in this handsome volume from Famous Comics.
