Tales to Astonish #12 (1960)

In Tales to Astonish #12, we have a classic example of an early Marvel monster story. This time, it's Gorgilla - a creature that's part-man, part-ape and 100% beast. The setting is an expedition to discover the missing link between man and ape, which quickly turns into a nightmare when the scientists find themselves face to face with the massive Gorgilla. The story is split into four parts, with titles that perfectly capture the pulpy, over-the-top feel of these classic monster comics. "The Monster of Midnight Mountain", "The Sorcerer", "My Nightmare Has No End!" and "Save Me! Save Me! A Monster Waits Outside!" - they all promise thrilling, edge-of-your-seat action and they absolutely deliver. Whether you're a fan of classic monster movies or just a lover of early Marvel comics, Tales to Astonish #12 is a must-read.
