Amazed by Aparo: "The Giant Ape of Tawth" by Dipluhm and Aparo

More magnificent early Jim Aparo for ya, Groove-ophiles! This one, "The Giant Ape of Tawth", written by the elusive "Norm Dipluhm" was the cover-feature--and strangely the back-up tale-- from The Phantom #34 (July 1969). Enjoy!

    Love the Phantom & Jim Aparo's artwork! Lately I've been buying up silver age Phantoms to complete my collection and have rediscovered wonderful tales from my youth.
