An old Kirby monster story from Strange Tales is recycled to (re)bring an old threat to Earth: an off-world horde of planet-destroying stone devils led by Granitor, the Lord of the Gargoyles! Now, It, the Living Colossus, has someone his own size and weight-class to fight! Bring the ruckus, It!

With the Comics Code loosening in 1971, monsters came roaring back into the pages of our favorite medium. Kids that grew up reading comics were now making them; many of them were members of the counter-culture. Throw in a desire to do something all-new (and some fads like kung-fu) and you have all the makings of a wild decade of comics. Join Jacob Balcom & Matt Howell as they explore some of the craziest comics of the 1970s (and early '80s). Each season focuses on a different character.
