In 1932, American showman Carl Denham returned from a mysterious, hidden island with a priceless treasure—the island's barbaric god, a monstrous anthropoid called "Kong." The savage giant escaped and wreaked havoc through the concrete jungle of Manhattan, but within hours of the beast's death plummet from the peak of the Empire State Building, his body—and Carl Denham—disappeared. Twenty-five years later, the son of Carl Denham makes a shocking discovery that leads him back to the site of his father's greatest adventure and to answers that will unlock the secrets surrounding nature's greatest miracle and history's greatest mystery.
Kong: King of Skull Island is a lavishly illustrated novel that acts as both prequel and sequel to Cooper's original novel. Created by acclaimed illustrator Joe DeVito, co-writer alongside top fantasy and science-fiction writer Brad Strickland (with John Michlig), Kong: King of Skull Island utilizes innovative layout and design to make for a unique, interactive storytelling experience, remaining true to the classic Kong legend while illuminating new discoveries that will deepen the original story.
