Tony Isabella‘s love for “Uncle Godzilla” isn’t exactly a secret.
For years Tony has been proclaiming himself “the pastor of the First Church of Godzilla.”
Kinky? Sure. But Tony assures me that I have nothing to worry about. (No virgins, giant moths or three-headed dragons were sacrificed in the making of today’s comic.)
I appreciate Tony’s passion for giant, god-like creatures. So expect more Gorgo comics to pop up here—occasionally—in the future.
Will they be religious experiences? I don’t know. But I’m sure they’ll be funny.
Now let us prey!
Art by Steve Ditko from the story “Goro’s Triumph!” in Gorgo #11, Feb. 1963.
Transcript:
SCENE: Gorgo (a Godzilla like creature) attacks a movie crew that’s filming on a beach.
GORGO (thinking): Their Covid-19 numbers are climbing…and they have their beaches open! No social distancing! No masks! Uncle Godzilla definitely nailed it…about “the folly of man!”

Dialogue by Tony Isabella–pastor of The First Church of Godzilla (Reform), the one true church of the Great Scaly One.
Art by Charles Nicholas & Vince Alascia from the story “Homecoming” in Gorgo #4, Nov. 1961.
Some of the dialogue from the original art has dropped out. As near as I can tell, here’s what the man says: Go ahead and look, ugly! Don’t get gay with me or I’ll smack you in the eye!
