At this point, we might as well round out the rest of this week with more Gorillas.

Here we have King Krypton, the Super-Gorilla!

Action Comics #238

This issue features the first, and only, appearance of King Krypton.  I won't spoil the ending that necessitates this being his only appearance, so you'll just have to trust me on this one.

I love this cover for two reasons.  First, it's a gorilla in the Superman costume.  Second, it's the improbable physics involved.  You're telling me that a tree trunk is not only going to stay in one piece after smacking Superman in the head, but also drive him straight into the ground.  I think not!

This issue I got from an original owner collection that was part of an auction at my LCS.  More on this auction later, trust me.  It was a doozy and set the record for not only the most I ever paid for a single issue at the time, but also the most I ever shelled out in one day.

We'll finish up tomorrow with arguably the greatest of all Superman gorilla covers.  Any guesses?
