With all due respect to the late Mr. Wallace, I think the palm for Kong's creation goes to adventurer/producer/director Merian C. Cooper, who first imagined a giant ape battling giant lizards on a forgotten island and brought Wallace in to expand and shape his nebulous idea. Wallace died before writing much more than a first-draft screenplay; the amount of his input into the story as we know it is probably fairly slight.
