Yes, that monster was genuinely frightening. I do believe Jack Kirby did the art on that one. I can remember coming across a website a few years ago that featured several panels from that story, actually.R. W.

Marvel was trying to make a quick buck by reprinting their scores of monster one-shots. As there was nothing else on the stand I bought it. The inside splash page is that terrific cover all over again. The monster haunts the guy and confronts him on the roof and reveals that he is from (gasp) the 4th Dimension. But wait, the guy transforms into an even bigger monster as he was really from the (choke) 5th Dimension! And that's where it ended. You can see why they switched to heroes!Bostonbillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-23175744565591918322012-05-24T04:55:08.677+01:002012-05-24T04:55:08.677+01:00Maybe King Kong was the Eighth Wonder.Maybe King Kong was the Eighth Wonder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-48859017058761460582012-05-24T04:49:49.404+01:002012-05-24T04:49:49.404+01:00According to Mike's Amazing World of Marvel Co...According to Mike's Amazing World of Marvel Comics, all of these covers, including Trull and the Blip, were by Kirby. Most were inked by Dick Ayers, but #10 (Titano) was inked by Steve Ditko. Each issue had at least three stories, usually one each by Kirby, Ditko, and Don Heck. Several had a fourth story by Paul Reinman. Usually, Kirby drew the cover story, except for #8 and #9 (cover by Kirby, cover story by Heck).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-59702706598742462272012-05-24T03:00:11.911+01:002012-05-24T03:00:11.911+01:00How many of these are Kirby?

With Trull (or whatever the cover with the big eyes is), I'm also not entirely convinced.
