Ever since King Kong stomped his way into the world’s consciousness questions have been asked. What is the history of King Kong and his Skull Island home? Artist and author, Joe DeVito, recorded his findings and discoveries about King Kong and Skull Island in two original stories, Skull Island and The History of Skull Island. These stories have combined with Merian C. Cooper’s King Kong to create the foundation of the King Kong of Skull Island universe from books to the metaverse.
