UP FROM THE DEPTHS!

This is the comic that I read the most times in my whole life. It's Marvel Comic's Godzilla #14. "The Mega Mosters Part III: The Super-Beasts" was the final chapter in a story that had the Big G and Red Ronin fighting side-by-side against a trio of space monsters. In the middle of this epic battle was the forces of SHIELD being led by Dum Dum Dugan. This comic is probably the single most influencial comic of my youth. Just recently it was reprinted in ESSENTIAL GODZILLA. All 24 issues of that titanic series in one single volume. I think that it's some of the best work that artist Herb Trimpe did for Marvel. Absolute genius. Now, if Hanna-Barbera could ever strike a deal with Sony, we might end up getting a DVD collection of the 1970's Godzilla cartoon. Until then, here is to all the monsters that crashed the halls of my imagination.
