The character was revived in Astonishing Tales #21 (December 1973) by writer Tony Isabella and artist Dick Ayers as the protagonist of its own series. Animated by a hostile extraterrestrial in its first appearance, the character was later animated through special effects artist Bob O'Bryan, who transfers his mind into the statue.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or colossus:
“What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?
You would say his ambition was to extend the reach
Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Milton, Madam, was a genius that could cut a Colossus from a rock; but he could not carve heads upon cherry-stones.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
