KONG: KING OF SKULL ISLAND #5

Kong: King Of Skull Island, was a 5 limited series that was published by Markosia. It was based on a book illustrated by Joe Devito and co-written by Brad Strickland.  The book was a sequel to the King Kong story, following the footsteps of Carl Denham's son, Vincent,  as he travels to Skull Island to locate his missing father. In the course of the story, we discover Kong's backstory. I had the pleasure of drawing issue #3, the second half of #4, and all of #5.


In the pages that follow, redrawn for the trade paperback, Kong fights the dinosaur Gaw in an epic, climatic battle:
