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!

I thoroughly enjoyed working on today’s comic with my pal Mike Pascale. Mike approached me years ago about modifying some of my romance art for new Halloween gags. And from that has sprung a fun-filled tradition of working on most holiday gags together—with Mike making the art fit the gag. Thanks, Mike!

Original art by the Vince Colletta Studio from the story “Change of Heart” in FIRST KISS #37, 1964.
