FEATURING THE KING OF THE MONSTERS!
This is the comic book that began a whole new cycle of GODZILLA comics originating from North America! This isn't the campy Godzilla, but a back to basics destructive force of nature leaving devastation and horror in his wake!
"PREHISTORIC TERROR UNLEASHED! A CITY IN RUINS! HAS MANKIND MET IT'S MATCH?"
This story gives an origin of sorts to both Godzilla and the rest of the monsters that have appeared in so many movies. It begins when a construction crew, working on a new high-rise, finds and tries to excavate a strange, radioactive rock. Scientists determine that the rock itself contains no radioactive ore, but seems to be channeling the radiation from somewhere else. In reality, it’s sending out a call—a call that awakens monsters that have lain dormant for thousands of years. Soon, the sky is darkened with insects as big as clouds, giant birds from the prehistoric age, and worst of all, the giant, fire-breathing lizard called Godzilla.
