The cover above by Frank Frazetta for Eerie is a fave. It's an outstanding flip on the classic image of Kong atop the Empire State Building with Fay Wray clutched in his paw. Here, Fay gets her own back and swats some biplanes to boot. It's a fun image. I've always thought of it as "Queen Kong", and that might even be its title.
As it turns out there actually was a movie titled Queen Kong, released almost in 1976 to play off the hype around the remake of the time. Dino DeLaurentis had it suppressed but its since become availabe on dvd. I've never seen it, save for this glimpse on Youtube. Enjoy!
