what's King Kong of Skull Island?

King Kong of Skull Island is an official expanded universe and origin story for the iconic King Kong character, created by artist and author Joe DeVito in partnership with the estate of Merian C. Cooper. Presented through a series of illustrated novels and graphic epics like "The Wall" and "Exodus," it explores the ancient history of Skull Island, including the evolution of the Kong species, the Tagatu civilization, the construction of the Great Wall, and events before and after the 1933 film's capture of Kong. The project extends into Web3 with an NFT trading card series on the WAX blockchain featuring book covers, motion variants, and Skull Island lore (over 17,000 assets). It also features immersive metaverse experiences in The Sandbox, including voxel-based adventures, LAND plots for ownership, avatar wearables, and collectibles integrated into Alpha seasons.
