Product Description:
'You have your fear, which might become reality. And you have Godzilla, which IS reality.' -From Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956) And what a reality it was! For two years, Japan's greatest export was one of Marvel's biggest stars, and the King of the Monsters upheld his title against some of the best and worst the House of Ideas had to offer - including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and Nick Fury and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Godzilla shrinks, goes West, travels through time and hosts one of Spider-Man's monst gratuitous guest-shots ever! Plus: aliens, mutants, mad Scientists and almost a dozen MORE giant monsters! It's so big, you can't miss it! Collects Godzilla #1-24.

This collection is good enough to be a relativly good buy, but not outstanding. All the storys follow a formula, but it is still fun and entertaining. For the price and Godzilla it's worth buying but it wont be the most interesting comic you will read.

I bought this volume of the Marvel Essential series based largely on the reviews I read. It was a fun romp through the 70's Marvel world, even though I have not been a big Godzilla fan over the years. I was worried early on that this would be a different version of the Hulk, with Dum-Dum Dugan replacing General Thunderbolt Ross, but Dugan actually showed character growth early on in this run. There were some parts that were pretty hokey, but it was a fun read and worthwhile.

The bad points first: Black and white printed on cheap news print. But that is how they pobably make this so affordable. But hey man, This is the seventies, should definately be in color.
Good points: At least this volume allowed me to read the issues ive not been able to fingd in comics shops.
Fans who dont like the way Godzilla looks here: Godzillas design for this comic was modeled on the Aurora model kit, which was in turn modeled on the Godzilla suit from KING KONG vs Godzillla. ... Read More

Being a Daikaijuologist (Studies Giant mysterious beasts) I remembered this series of comics fondly as a boy but did not have them all, Now I do. Something I found interesting, TOHO (the company resonsible for the Godzilla Movies) didn't reveal that Big-G was a vegitarian until 1993, But Marvel Knew he was back in 78! (See the cowboy issues in the book) all trivia aside though, even a Non-Comic reading Godzilla fan will enjoy this Book! It's fun to watch the Shodai (Original)Dark,evil, mean, Godzilla ... Read More

Marvel has done a number of comic series of independently licensed characters in the past, like Doctor Who; Rom the Spaceknight; and Doc Savage, Man of Bronze. Last year, the brass at Marvel set out to court many of these other companies and get their permission to reprint their licensed material, in anticipation of the large quantity of Essentials and Masterworks for 2006 that they wanted. The only taker was Japan's Toho Studios, hence the arrival of the Essential Godzilla, King of Monsters. I wasn't ... Read More
