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!
The Russkies refuse and things get tense!
Meanwhile two large kaiju, just minding their own business, are attracted to all the activity going on in the sea over them..
Did Gorgo and son stop the Cuban Missile Crisis from escalating?
Only these three (along with writer Joe Gill and artist Steve Ditko) know...and they ain't talking!
Next Week:
Another Marvel kaiju takes a crack at Commies!

Commie-Clobbering Kaiju GORGO "Deadlier Than Man" Part 1

Besides Konga, another cinematic kaiju who battled Commies in comic pages was...
...who was also published by Charlton, and who was often illustrated by the legendary Steve Ditko!
Let's look in on the mother and son who frightened the world for 26 issues during the 1960s!
Don't worry, the kaiju cavalry is coming!
Good thing JFK didn't have to deal with kaiju along with the Cubans and Russians during the real-world Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, eh?
Writer Joe Gill and artist Steve Ditko continue their interpretation of those events from Charlton's Gorgo #14 (1963)...
TOMORROW!
