Reprint of the 1st story from
Tales to Astonish #12

A scientist mounts an expedition to Borneo in order to locate the remains of the missing link. He is surprised upon his arrival that the locals refer to the creature as living upon "midnight mountain". The natives have built an enclosure around the area ala Kong, so after his group scales the wall, they come face to face with Gorgilla. Initially, relations between human and missing link are antagonistic, but when a T-Rex shows up, Gorgilla decides he feels more of a kinship with the explorers and attacks the reptile. He is victorious, but tired and weak after the fight, and the scientists realize he could be easily captured. Since he saved their lives from the T-Rex, they grant him the peace of remaining in his native habitat.

In a European village, small children rush to greet Mr. Jann, an old man with a penchant for telling stories. Jann tells them the story of when he met the giants. Long ago, Jann wandered a vast forest and became lost. That night, he is awakened by the footsteps of a giant, who almost crushes Jann. Fleeing for his life, the giant stoops to pick up the tiny human. Jann escapes but notices that there are several others gathering in the area. He tells the children that he managed to find his way home. While the children enjoy his story, the adults consider them to be fairy tales. Mr. Jann knows that they are real, because there is a word in the Leprechaun language for the giants: humans.
