Commie-Clobbering Kaiju GORGO "Deadlier Than Man" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...well the scene in this Bill Montes-penciled and Ernie Bache-inked art doesn't actually, occur, but it's the perfect symbolic cover to visualize what's going on!
The Soviet Union is arming fellow Communist country Cuba with nuclear missiles.
However, an American trapped on the island manages to radio a warning to the American military, which results in the US warning the Russkies to stop what they're doing!

Next Week:
Another Marvel kaiju takes a crack at Commies!

Writer Joe Gill and artist Steve Ditko continue their interpretation of those events from Charlton's Gorgo #14 (1963)...
