The Land of Long Ago
Charlton’s
Gorgo comic was inspired by the the 1961
movie of the same name Unlike the movie, however, the comic book Gorgo had one adventure
in time when Dr. Hobart Howarth rescues Gorgo from YaPa* by sending the giant reptile
back to the late Jurassic. Sadly, as a child, I bought only one
Gorgo comic, which
was not the time-travel issue, although that one issue I had was drawn by
Steve Ditko, hooray!

I will send Gorgo back into is own era in the stream of time. Here he is an
anachronism
. . . In his own time, he would be in
harmony withhis surroundings!
