Marvel announces a reprinting of its seminal crossover with the ultimate atomic monster, Godzilla. Originally released in 1977, Godzilla saw the House of Ideas publishing stories about the giant kaiju as it rises from the seas of the Marvel Universe. Godzilla would go on to battle a wide range of heroes like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the Champions. Now, Marvel and Toho have partnered to bring it back into print with a new collection, the Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, collecting the stories written by Doug Moench and artist Herb Trimpe.
When the collection hits shelves in October, it will coincide with Godzilla’s 70th anniversary, and spotlight his various fights with the Marvel heroes. Monsters, aliens, mutants, and more offer new challenges for the atomic lizard. The main cover for the collection comes from Junggeun Yoon, while the two variant covers feature iconic covers from interior artist Trimpe.
All three covers and a detailed synopsis can be seen below:
Godzilla rises from the depths in the United States — and the Marvel Universe! See the towering scourge of Tokyo march across America and battle some of the best and brightest the House of Ideas had to offer, including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the Champions, Nick Fury and the mechanized monster fighter, Red Ronin! Godzilla goes west, travels through time to battle Devil Dinosaur, and hosts one of Spider-Man’s most gratuitous guest-shots ever — but when Godzilla is shrunk down to miniature size, the terrible titan proves it can still be a tiny terror! Plus: Aliens, mutants, mad scientists and epic kaiju clashes with Godzilla’s fellow towering titans — including Batragon and Yetrigar!
