In 1961, mama Gorgo tore London apart while searching for her stolen baby. This was a Technicolor spectacle more elaborate than practically any other monster movie of its day. For her producers, the King Bros, it was a successful journey into the 'suitmation' kaiju realm that Toho had instigated with the success of GODZILLA -- and, in particular, RODAN, which the Kings had brought to the US in 1957.
This is the definitive volume on GORGO. 270 pages! Over 620 high-quality B/W and color images! Archival BEHIND-THE-SCENES production photos, concept art, and info never before seen in print. Yes -- tons of monster and visual FX imagery.
Includes the full story of the wild and woolly King Bros: from streetwise, semi-gangster beginnings to highly successful independent movie producers (cult films DILLINGER, GUN CRAZY, Oscar-winning THE BRAVE ONE, MAYA, etc). Plus: A history of Gorgo comic books from Steve Ditko/1961 to Patrick McEvoy/2025; and a colorful survey of all known Gorgo toys and model kits to date, licensed or otherwise!
INTRO BY JOE DANTE. Covers by Mark Maddox and Neil Vokes. 11 full-page color paintings, including Basil Gogos' classic 1961 cover for Famous Monsters #11. And returning for this special issue, beloved artists BRUX (David Brooks), Bob Eggleton, The Gurch, Tim Hammell, Alistair Hughes, Ron Lizorty, Stewart McKissick, Adrian Salmon, Mike Schneider, William Stout.

I wonder if they have the little "Diener Space Creatures" Gorgo? :)

This the one? Beautiful little figure. But looks to me lots more like the DESTINATION INNER SPACE creech than he does old Gorgo.
Oops! Sorry, it's a Palmer. Yours is a DIS toy.

Yup, he's there. Ya see, Wallace is beside himself! (AND separated at birth, apparently.)

So that's what he did with that green cheese he got on the moon!
Must be Gorgonzola!
