From 1948 here are two separate Sun Girl stories in which she faces off against colossal monsters. The first one is seen here ripping up a train-track like Kong in the 1933 film, though he's immune to cannon-fire like the later Godzilla. Sun Girl eventually figures out he's a deep-sea critter and drives him into the ocean.
The other, name of Bokk, is a more conscious King Kong copy, though he has an analogous "Godzilla moment" in that he gets "riddled with bullets" but does not succumb to them. Sun Girl beats Bokk by tricking the goliath into eating poisoned food, but in the last panel she slightly regrets doing so, noting that the people who brought Bokk to civilization were truly at fault.
Both of these Kong-copies predate the giant-size gargantua who is the star of the 1949 MARVEL TALES story, "The Gool Strikes."
