After Toto shows off his proficiency with numbers, Lois easily befriends the ape when she cleans him up after he's struck by a pie thrown by a comedy routine. Toto's owner then tells Lois to join them at the Cape Rocket Range where Toto is going to be launched into space in a satellite as part of a publicity stunt.<br /><br />Lois and Superman both show up, and when the rocket doesn't launch, the Man of Steel lends a helping hand. while in space, Toto's satellite passes two meteors, one made of Uranium and the other Kryptonite colliding, their energies bombarding Toto. Upon arriving on Earth, Toto appears alive an well, but suddenly grows to a gigantic size. Renamed Titano by Lois Lane, the creature captures her. When Superman tries to save her, he finds that the creature can fire beams of Kryptonite energy from it's eyes, weakening the hero.<br /><br />Stuck as Titano's prisoner, Lois can only witness as Titano causes mischief and unintentional destruction of property. Using a lead shield, Superman manages to save Lois Lane, but the hero is still hard pressed over what to do about Titano. Trapping the creature in a cage, it still poses a threat to the Man of Steel due to its Kryptonite vision. Superman soon learns that the creature will try to imitate anything that Lois does, and so the two trick the gigantic ape into putting on a pair of specially made glasses that block its Kryptonite vision. Superman then sends Titano through the time barrier to prehistoric Earth, where the gigantic ape can live a happy life</div>  <div><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div> <hr class="styled-hr" style="width:100%;"></hr> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph">Superman Vol 1 #138<br />July, 1960<br />Cover Artists: Curt Swan, Stan Kaye<br /><br /><u>Titano the Super-Ape!</u><br />Writers: Otto Binder<br />Pencilers: Wayne Boring<br />Inkers: Stan Kaye<br />Editors: Mort Weisinger<br /><br /><u>Appearing in "Titano the Super-Ape!"</u><br /><em>Featured Characters:</em><br />Superman (Flashback and main story)<br /><em>Supporting Characters:</em><br />Lois Lane (Flashback and main story)<br />Jimmy Olsen<br />Perry White<br /><em>Antagonists:</em><br />Titano (Flashback and main story)<br /><em>Other Characters:</em><br />Dinosaurs<br />Superman Robot<br /><em>Locations:</em><br />Metropolis<br />Daily Planet Building<br />Fortress of Solitude<br /><em>Items:</em><br />Green Kryptonite (Flashback only)<br /></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.kaijubattle.net/uploads/2/9/5/7/29570123/413054982_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox' onclick='if (!lightboxLoaded) return false'> <img src="https://www.kaijubattle.net/uploads/2/9/5/7/29570123/413054982_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><u>Synopsis for "Titano the Super-Ape!"</u><br />At his Fortress of Solitude, Superman looks at his time monitor to check up on Titano in Earth's distant past. To his surprise, the creature suddenly vanishes from sight and reappears in modern day Metropolis. As the gigantic ape terrorizes the city, Superman's initial attack is rebuffed due to the super-ape's Kryptonite vision. As it captures Lois Lane, Superman puts on his specially built lead suit to battle the beast.<br /><br />The lead suit only proves to be a temporary protection as Superman flies too fast and the wind resistance causes the suit to melt away. After following Titano for a time, fixing the damage that he does, Superman realizes that Titano seems to be going for spherical objects. The Man of Steel then realizes that Titano was collecting a series of spheres in the Earth's past. Traveling back in time, Superman finds that they are some kind of gigantic coconut type fruit. Bringing one to the present, Titano begins to break it open and drink its contents.<br /><br />This distracts the super-beast enough for Superman to save Lois Lane and then knock Titano back through the time barrier returning him to the past era where Superman had originally placed him.&nbsp;</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[CLASSIC COMICS: Tales To Astonish Vol 1 #9 "I Saw Droom the Living Lizard!"]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.kaijubattle.net/classic-comics/classic-comics-tales-to-astonish-vol-1-9-i-saw-droom-the-living-lizard]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.kaijubattle.net/classic-comics/classic-comics-tales-to-astonish-vol-1-9-i-saw-droom-the-living-lizard#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 02 Oct 2018 15:00:45 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Classic Comics]]></category><category><![CDATA[Monster Comics]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kaijubattle.net/classic-comics/classic-comics-tales-to-astonish-vol-1-9-i-saw-droom-the-living-lizard</guid><description><![CDATA[ 	 		 			 				 					 						  Tales to Astonish Vol 1 #9May, 1960Editor-in-Chief: Stan LeeCover Artists: Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, Stan Goldberg, Artie Simek"Return of the Genie!"Writers: Stan LeePencilers: Jack Kirby"No Way Out"Pencilers: Steve DitkoInkers: Steve Ditko"I Saw Droom the Living Lizard!"Pencilers: Don Heck"Fangs of the Bear"Pencilers: Doug Wildey   					 								 					 						          					 							 		 	    	 		 			 				 					 						  &#8203;Appearing in "Return of the Genie!"Featured  [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph">Tales to Astonish Vol 1 #9<br />May, 1960<br />Editor-in-Chief: Stan Lee<br />Cover Artists: Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, Stan Goldberg, Artie Simek<br /><br />"Return of the Genie!"<br />Writers: Stan Lee<br />Pencilers: Jack Kirby<br /><br />"No Way Out"<br />Pencilers: Steve Ditko<br />Inkers: Steve Ditko<br /><br />"I Saw Droom the Living Lizard!"<br />Pencilers: Don Heck<br /><br />"Fangs of the Bear"<br />Pencilers: Doug Wildey</div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.kaijubattle.net/uploads/2/9/5/7/29570123/789141161_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox' onclick='if (!lightboxLoaded) return false'> <img src="https://www.kaijubattle.net/uploads/2/9/5/7/29570123/789141161_orig.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph"><u>&#8203;Appearing in "Return of the Genie!"</u><br />Featured Characters: Freddy Sykes (The Genie) (Last appearance)<br />Other Characters: Genie (Only in flashback)<br />Locations: Earth, United States of America, New York, New York City, Illinois, Chicago, Michigan, Detroit, Swamp, Europe, Asia, Moon<br />Items: Bottle<br /><br /><u>Synopsis for "Return of the Genie!"</u><br />The genie from last issue's Kirby story returns again when a man uncorks his muddy bottle from the swamp and discards it because he cannot see the genie inside.

The Air Force tried to stop Droom with a nuclear bomb but that failed when the creature snatched the plane from the sky.<br /><br />The military devised Plan X which involved thousands of soldiers.

King Kong appeared as a statue in Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane No. 73 in 1967 and as a robot brought to life (among other giant robots in an amusement park created by Toyman) to fight Superman in Adventures of Superman No. 475 in 1991. In issue No. 226 of Superman in 1970, Clark Kent is seen watching the film King Kong at a Metropolis cinema and after being exposed to Red Kryptonite (as Superman) grows into a giant who rampages through the city in a story called When Superman became King Kong!. In issue No. 120 of Weird War Tales from 1983, G.I. Robot encounters a giant female ape referred to as "Mrs. King Kong" on Dinosaur Island who saves him and his allies from a Tyrannosaurus. In 1985's Blue Devil No. 15, Blue Devil battles a giant robot King Kong that malfunctions at the "King Kong Attraction" located at the "Verner Bros" studio in Hollywood.</div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.kaijubattle.net/uploads/2/9/5/7/29570123/wosmann2-kingkong_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox' onclick='if (!lightboxLoaded) return false'> <img src="https://www.kaijubattle.net/uploads/2/9/5/7/29570123/wosmann2-kingkong.jpg" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"> Web of Spider-Man Annual No. 2</div> </div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%;

Failing to subdue the monster with these means, the Prime Minister orders a nuclear attack. This however only grants Godzilla atomic breath. The beast continues onward into Tokyo, reducing it to rubble.

The radiation from the test is channeled into an underground rift, a subterranean passage stretching from Arizona to Alberta, Canada. In Alberta, the radiation comes to fill an ice cave, within which a hairy, near-human creature is encased in a glacial tomb, one of the legendary Sasquatch. The Sasquatch is freed from the ice by the radioactivity and revived. The newly revived monster is pained by the continuing effects of the radiation on his body. His mind filled with rage, the bigfoot turns south, towards where he instinctively senses the source of his affliction originates. As he strides southward, however, the radiation begins to make the man-monster start to grow.<br /><br />The present&nbsp;<br />The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier follows the trail of Godzilla from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Gabe Jones has reservations about using S.H.I.E.L.D. ordnance in the canyon, but Dugan scoffs, calling him a monster-lover. They finally locate Godzilla, but when they do, they also witness the gigantic Big Foot known as a Yetrigar. Hurling a huge boulder at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Behemoth, Yetrigar takes S.H.I.E.L.D. out of the action. On the bridge of the Helicarrier, Robbie Takiguchi sneaks past the scrambling S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and gains access to the Red Ronin battlesuit. He hopes to intervene on Godzilla's behalf in his battle against Yetrigar.<br /><br />Yetrigar ambushes Godzilla at the rim of the Grand Canyon, causing both monsters to topple into the natural wonder. The fall doesn't give them pause however, and they continue clawing and biting at one another. Godzilla blasts Yetrigar with his flame breath, but Yetrigar deflects it with a giant boulder. Godzilla maintains the upper hand though as he batters Yetrigar with his tail, then chomps down on his arm. Yetrigar frees his arm then punches Godzilla across the snout.

The captured criminals refuse to rat on their elusive boss, but let slip the fact that Varden plans a big operation soon. To trap the gang leader, Batman and Robin hatch a plan and the next day, Batman and Robin patrol the rooftops of Gotham City in plain sight, drawing the attention of a crowd of reporters, among which is Thaddeus Crane, a detective from upstate who has come to study Batman's and Robin's crimefighting methods. Crane climbs to a roof top to interview the dynamic duo, and catches Batman with his cowl off, in the process of changing to Bruce Wayne.<br /><br />Thaddeus Crane announces to the reporters that he knows Batman's secret identity, and Batman and Robin admit they will have to guard him to keep it secret. Crane is hired by the chairman of a camera show featuring a huge camera as an exhibit and a movie company president to guard the exhibits and his bejeweled star Laura Lee, respectively. Though Varden's mob strikes in both places, Batman and Robin thwart their efforts and make it seem as if Thaddeus Crane has overcome the crooks. John Varden's mob eventually cons Crane into their clutches, and he meets with the mobster, though he steadfastly refuses to reveal Batman's identity. But Batman and Robin, who have used Crane (with his permission) as bait for their trap, break in and defeat Varden and his gang. Crane later announces he is leaving Gotham, and disappears forever. But, in the Batcave, it is revealed that Crane was in fact Alfred, Batman's butler, whose middle names are Thaddeus Crane and they planned everything from the beginning in order to capture the crooks.&nbsp;<br /><br /><u>Appearing in "Robin's 50 Batman Partners"</u><br />Featured Characters:&nbsp;Robin<br />Supporting Characters:&nbsp;Batman<br />Alfred<br />Villains:&nbsp;Sparkles Grady (Single appearance)<br />Locations:&nbsp;Gotham City<br />Wayne Manor<br />Items:Batman Robot<br /><br /><u>Synopsis for "Robin's 50 Batman Partners"</u><br />Batman breaks his ankle during a fracas with the Sparkles Grady mob, and Robin has to take his place as representative at the Batman Exposition. The Exposition, covered on TV, features fifty images of Batman in various forms--as a colossal robot, a giant statue, a mechanical figure on a great clock, and so forth. Grady, watching the program, notes that Robin still holds the pouch of diamonds recovered from their heist, and takes himself and his gang to the exposition after hours where only they and Robin, who is taking photographs of the exhibits, are present. Robin is outnumbered, and endangered when the gang chief orders the Batman-robot to "get" him, but uses the many Batman exhibits (including the mechanical clock figure, who smashes the robot with a stroke of his hammer) to even the odds. Finally, exhausted, Robin tries out a mystery exhibit. It proves to be a giant fireworks display forming a great head of Batman, and its brilliance momentarily blinds the thugs. He nets Grady and his gang with the cape from the giant Batman statue and summons the police to haul them away. Later, at Wayne Manor, Bruce expresses regret that he could not have helped Robin, but Robin replies that he was with him all the time.<br /><br /><u>Appearing in "The Creature from 20,000 Fathoms"</u><br />Featured Characters:&nbsp;Batman<br />Robin<br />Supporting Characters:&nbsp;John Briggs (Single appearance)<br />Fergus (Single appearance)<br />Sloan (Single appearance)<br />Villains:&nbsp;Devoe (Single appearance)<br />Locations:&nbsp;Gotham City<br />Batcave<br /><br /><u>Synopsis for "The Creature from 20,000 Fathoms"</u><br />Batman and Robin, as honorary members of the 50 Fathoms Club, a group of underwater specialists, attend a meeting at which deep-sea diver Devoe presents photos of Babonga, a giant saurian monster which appears periodically at a Pacific island which Devoe visited. The members vote unanimously to put up the money to bring Babonga and exhibit it, with all of them together (including Batman and Robin) in on the Babgonga shows up as promised and the club members take aim with rifles loaded with mercy bullets--except that a first shot goes awry and blasts a section of ship's rail out, explosively. Batman, realizing their bullets have been switched, has the hunting party hold their fire and repels the beast with a brilliant flash from a camera. One of the party, he says, wishes to kill Babonga rather than bring it back alive.<br /><br />Batman foils an attempt upon on his own life and lures Babonga out of danger when senses their gas bombs have been filled with poisonous acid instead, but the culprit remains beyond his grasp. Then when the dynamic duo go down in a bathysphere, their connecting chain to the ship is cut--as they had expected. The pair go out in diving suites they had left in the bathysphere and beard Bobanga in its lair, drugging it with paralyzer serum. The two heroes surface with the evidence to condemn the guilty party--Babonga's egg. Devoe, the malefactor, confesses that he had intended to kill Bobanga so that the egg which he owned would the only living member of its species, thus enabling him to make a fortune himself from the exhibitions. Batman replies that he knew his identity after the assault, since the deep grooves on his wrists, caused by his diving suit's sleeves, were a dead giveaway. Bobanga is taken back alive for exhibition and study. Batman remarks later that the egg will take a century to hatch, anyway, and when it does, it will hatch in the trophy room of the Batcave.&nbsp;</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[CLASSIC COMICS: King Kong #3 "Death In Devil's Chasm!"]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.kaijubattle.net/classic-comics/classic-comics-king-kong-3-death-in-devils-chasm]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.kaijubattle.net/classic-comics/classic-comics-king-kong-3-death-in-devils-chasm#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2016 01:52:09 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Classic Comics]]></category><category><![CDATA[King Kong]]></category><category><![CDATA[Monster Comics]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kaijubattle.net/classic-comics/classic-comics-king-kong-3-death-in-devils-chasm</guid><description><![CDATA[ &#8203;King Kong #3Monster ComicsMay 1991Editor: Gary Groth, Ryder WindhamCover Artist: William StoutArtist: Donald Simpson, William StoutWriter: Donald Simpson&nbsp;&#8203;Part 3: Death in Devil's Chasm!Kong shakes most of the sailors off the log bridge and into the chasm, where they are eaten by a swarm of giant spiders.Kong's efforts to catch Driscoll are interrupted when Ann is attacked by a large meat-eating dinosaur, an Allosaurus.

Kong fights and kills the dinosaur, then picks up Ann and moves on with Driscoll in pursuit. Denham, meanwhile, is sent back for reinforcements.<br /><br />Trivia:&nbsp;Stout's cover shows Kong battling a Tyrannosaurus (when it is clearly an Allosaurus in the actual story).<br /><br /><span>Based on the 1932</span><span>&nbsp;novelization by Delos W. Lovelace and thus differs from the movie in numerous places. Notably, the ship is called the&nbsp;</span><em>Vastator</em><span>&nbsp;instead of the&nbsp;</span><em>Venture</em><span>&nbsp;and the characters of Charlie the Chinese cook and Second Mate Briggs are absent, replaced by a character from Lovelace's novel named Lumpy. The comic also contains several scenes not found in the film including the infamous "spider pit" scenes and extra encounters with dinosaurs by the search party. Other notable changes include the addition of a character totally original to this comic, Denham's assistant Wally, and an extended sequence of several dinosaurs joining Kong in attacking the native village.</span></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
