How “Gorgo #03” begins
Every balloon from the first pages, as it is read aloud:
Awesome! Gigantic! Gorgo
I can control you… With you at my command i will rule the world!
The return of gorgo
The awesome monsters which had defied the armed might of two great powers, the prehistoric beasts who had proved immune to man's most terrible weapons, were either dead or close to it on the bottom of the sea when latin dictator mandel astro addressed his scientific advisors! Astro, a merciless terrorist was a frustrated man because the island nation he ruled was poverty-stricken, the armed forces he commanded too ineffectual to conquer anything, and he had apparently reached a dead end on the road to world power! Perhaps no other man could envision the possibilities of those monsters… But astro did! And he had some of the world's most brilliant zoologists to help him carry out his maniacal plan! Impossible as it seemed then, the time came when gorgo, a survivor of an age 2,000,000 years in the past, would obey astro's orders!
You see, colicharo? The beast destroys your nation at my orders! Surrender and survive! Resist and…
I surrender, astro! Just give me time to flee, then let him destroy as he pleases!
Dictator astro's plan was only a mad wish some months before… Expressed at the meeting of the scientists of bota zoological institute!
You fools! I was not apprised of the presence of this monster in our hemisphere! The monster, gorgo, and his parent are in your province! Dr. Valzo! What is your opinion?
Gorgo and his parent are obviously survivors of a time when the earth was ruled by such large reptiles!
Their species did not survive because they could not adjust to changing conditions! If only they had man's brain to direct them, they would be ruling our world today!
I have heard you claim that you could make any living creature obey you! Now… Find this monster, dr. Valzo! Make it serve me!
Serve you, president? It would destroy me, it would…
Perhaps, valzo, only perhaps! But, of a certainty, i will destroy you if you fail!
Mandel astro's mandate sent dr. Valzo scurrying north within the week… Traveling in the sleek, well-equipped ocean-exploring yacht owned by the nationalized bota zoological institute!
But how can we capture this monster, doctor? How can we even find him? And, after we have done these things, how can we tame the beast?
One problem at a time, pedro!
