This is an interesting mix. This Italian perfectbound comic book was
published in January 1977 and, as you can see, features the 1976 King Kong
poster art. However, the contents are a reprint of the Whitman/Gold Key
comic book adaptation of the 1933 film, translated into Italian, of course.
The front and back covers are shown below. (Complete with yellowing from age.)
An interesting side note is that the art inside is a mixture of color
and black & white.
I can't scan the book without destroying it, but if you'd like to read
the original English comic book, it can be found on numerous websites,
including this page at
Rip Jagger's Dojo.
