The genius artist Steve Ditko is a towering monster of awesomeness...and so is the character he chronicled - KONGA! If you love King Kong - and who doesn't - you'll love Konga! Konga battles dinosaurs, mole men, undersea monsters, creatures from beyond space, and the evilest threat of all - the human race! This is the complete Ditko Konga, a whopping 302-pages of giant purple ape comics, including eight pulse-pounding covers, all rendered during the height of Ditko's prowess concurrent with his Spider-Man and Dr. Strange creative explosions. Scripts are by fan-favorite writer Joe Gill. Features an Introduction by Eisner Award-winner Craig Yoe with fascinating insight into the comics and the monster movie that inspired them. Every page is lovingly restored and the book is a large format hardcover to showcase the monstrous Ditko art. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The massive volume collects all of Ditko's Konga tales, which play much better than the dreadful Michael Gough-fronted movie. The highly-regarded Gough's career survived the encounter as he went on to well-remembered roles in Doctor Who, The Avengers, and most famously in the US as Alfred in Tim Burton's Batman films.
The uneven Ditko art flashes some true signs of brilliance especially in regards to storytelling and Konga's emotional state. The underrated Gill expertly relies on Ditko's abilities, rarely relating the ape's feelings through captions. As the stories progress, the synergy between the pair increases as does the quality of Ditko's work. Unlike most Charlton titles of the time, Konga enjoyed a continuity between issues. Sadly, probably due the vagaries of newsstand and the perceived youth of the readership, Ditko and Gill felt the need to spend 2-4 pages per issue recapping events. ( )
