King Kong! His origins are shrouded in mystery. 

Who were his ancestors? How did he become a King? 

How could he come to dwell alone among the dinosaurs of legendary Skull Island, where time itself has seemingly stood still? 

What enigmatic civilization built the Great Wall and how was it achieved on a lost island swarming with giant beasts bent on its destruction?  

These answers can only be found in the epic two-volume fantasy adventure, King Kong of Skull Island! 

King Kong of Skull Island Part 1: Exodus reveals the origins of the mighty Kongs, the primordial history of the spectacular Tagatu civilization, and the prehistoric confrontations that challenged their survival during an extinction-level catastrophe. Facing impossible odds, the Tagatu and their ostensible anthropoid allies struggle to reach safety against cataclysmic events, culminating in an unlikely destination: Skull Island.

Skull Island is a land frozen in time - or is it? An enigmatic lost world of forward-evolved dinosaurs, it teems with dangers beyond imagination. Here, theTagatu survivors encounter the terrifying Deathrunners, led by a monstrous, god-like carnosaur known as Gaw. In an epic clash of primal power, the Kongs must battle for dominance and survival, forging a legacy that will echo across ages.
