Issues
Trivia
- Due to its being adapted from the 1932 King Kong novelization, the comic differs from the 1933 film in several places, such as Charlie and Briggs being replaced by the character Lumpy. The series also features some changes not present in the film or novelization, including the Venture, or Wanderer, being named the "Vastator," an assistant to Carl Denham named Wally, and the addition of a sequence involving a horde of dinosaurs attacking the Skull Islanders' village alongside Kong.
