Think you’re familiar with all the fearsome fauna on the comic page? Well, chances are you’ve never encountered The Dork, a marine reptile who graced the pages of Planet Comics in 1957.

In this sequence, seafaring hero Reef Ryan is in the clutches of the villainous Zurko The Fierce, who sics the deadly Dork on our protagonist. I don’t know how this ends, but I’ll say this much — get that goddamn Dork, Reef! Choke that fucking Dork to death!
