Explored within this issue is GORGO's origins as a Japanese co-production called KURU ISLAND, plus its mysterious ties to a Godzilla manga from 1957 and an unmade adaptation of WAR WITH THE NEWTS in 1967 between the King Brothers and Toho. Likewise, REPTILICUS's ties to THE VOLCANO MONSTERS are detailed along with deleted scenes from the final REPTILICUS screenplay. And, this issue even contains a comparison between the U.S. and Danish cuts of REPTILICUS plus a review of the quasi-reboot REPTISAURUS (2009)! Lastly, KONGA's production background as I WAS A TEENAGE GORILLA is covered along with its bonkers fan sequel KONGA TNT (2020). All this plus the Monarch Books novelizations and the Charlton Comics!!!
