There are some surprises here. Before I get to that, I’d first like to mention that the art is excellent. The story is pretty good, too (plot and premise), but the script seems somewhat anachronistic to me. I’m not sure when, exactly, this story takes place (past? present? alternate future?), but the natives speak in what strikes me as a somewhat anachronistic manner. They use modern-day colloquialisms throughout, but perhaps this can be explained being a modern translation of their actual dialect.
Regarding the premise, there is more than one Kong. In fact, “Kong” is used as a collective noun referring to “giant, intelligent apes.” Each of the “Kongs” has a different first name, and are trained by one of two factions of natives to fight each other in organized conflicts. The natives have large, ocean-going sailing vessels, more advanced than I would have expected for their society.
I’m not quite sure what to make of this series. It’s certainly not what I expected. I’m intrigued, though, and plan to keep reading.

OK, that is pretty weird. May have to check it out.
Wikipedia has a page on King Kong comics here. To my surprise RKO advertised King Kong and Son of Kong with comic strips with art by Glen Cravath. The page has links to images of the Son of Kong strip.
There's a link also for the King Kong one, but it's broken. This auction page has images of the pages from the first movie's pressbook, including a page with the series. There's an image of the original art of the first strip here, with an image of the strip as it appeared.
This Spanish language page has more images of early King Kong comics (and others).
There's a little information about Cravath here.
I have some Gorgo comics. Does that count?
