In the late 1950s, the company that would become known as Marvel was far from being a powerhouse. The bread and butter of their publication were comics featuring short stories about various monsters. Many of the comics were drawn by Jack Kirby, hence the name.
With crazy visuals and wacky names, characters like Spragg the Living Hill, Fin Fang Foom, Gor Kill the Living Demon, Groot, Klagg, Pildorr and Sserpo have been remembered fondly though homage, parody and the occasional appearance in a Marvel book.
For this prompt, design a comic book monster in this vein.
