King Kong in the Microcosmos (Spanish: King Kong en el Microcosmos), titled simply King Kong in its publication info, is a black-and-white Spanish-language comic book series published circa 1979 by the U.S.-based[1][2] Editorial América, S.A. Despite the company's nationality the series was printed in Colombia (through Italgraf, S.A.) and sold exclusively in Latin America, including Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Mexico. Distribuidora Meridiano S.A. was its distributor in Colombia and Distribuidora Continental S.A. in Venezuela.[a]
The series lasted 35 issues, most if not all of which were written and had their art supervised by Miguel F. Callejas.[b] An unlicensed use of King Kong, it depicts the character as a simple gorilla whose mate is killed by hunters, leading him to live in isolation. He is ultimately tracked down by a diminutive race of aliens, who make him appear giant by comparison. Hailing from a war-torn planet billions of light-years away from Earth, the aliens befriend Kong and bring him back to their planet in the hope that he can return it to peace.

Notes
- ↑ The publication info does not specify who distributed it in Ecuador and Mexico.
The covers of issues 1-22 list sale prices for all four countries, issues 23 and 24 list prices for only Colombia, and issues 25-35 list prices for all but Mexico. It is unknown whether issues were sold in the countries absent from their covers. - ↑ The first two issues do not include credits of any kind. Callejas worked on them as cover artist, as evidenced by the presence of his signature, but any further involvement is indeterminate.
