CM_Kong_1

The success of Marvel's comic adaptation of Conan the Barbarian spawned a host of imitators, both from Marvel itself as well as rival comic giant D.C. In the spring of 1975, D.C. blitzed the newsstands with characters like Beowulf - Dragon Slayer, Tor the Caveman, Claw the Unconquered, and the prehistoric Kong the Untamed, as seen here in all his four-color glory!

Kong The Untamed - Issue No. 1, July 1975.
