The following is a synopsis of the information provided about the photographs in the Famous Monster #54: Don Post originally had a small prototype of King Kong created by Marcel Delgado, as his model. Post then worked to create a bigger one to scale and then from that model came the huge Kong.

Kilgore was a noted comic book artist, animator, writer and film maker. He worked for Dell Publishing starting in the late 1940's and was responsible for the publishers magazine art department. While at Dell he acquired a large number of original photographs of celebrities and Hollywood films. Starting in the early 1960's he was a regular contributor to Dell's Four Color comic book series.
