Pretty cool. They had him fight a lot of different creatures in those. Never saw them before.

Here's another weird one. In the 1967 issue of Shonen Magazine, there is a King Kong strip where he fights the Statue of Liberty. The villain (bald guy with glasses) looks like Dr.Who from the Rankin Bass animated series that King Kong Escapes was based on. Since this came out the same year the movie and cartoon did I wonder if its a tie in?
