‘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 to battle Devil Dinosaur, and hosts one of Spider-Man’s most gratuitous guest-shots ever! Plus: aliens, mutants, mad Scientists and almost a dozen MORE giant monsters! It’s such a big adventure, you can’t miss it!

The King of the Monsters goes on the rampage in the Marvel Universe in this Facsimile representation of the first issue of the classic comic book! When Godzilla surfaces in Alaska and leaves a path of destruction, it naturally attracts the attention of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.! But what can they possibly do to stop a towering, fire-breathing force of nature like Godzilla? Find out in a bold adventure of the legendary kaiju by a pair of industry titans: Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe! Its one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all! Reprinting GODZILLA (1977) #1.

Story/Spoilers:
Godzilla: King of the Monsters #1B (Facsimile Edition)
In “The Coming!”, Out of the frozen Alaskan waters comes Godzilla, king of the monsters, and his first order of business on American soil is to destroy an Alaskan oil pipeline. The destruction brings the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., who assigns a “Godzilla Squad” consisting of Timothy “Dum Dum” Dugan, Gabriel Jones, Jimmy Woo, and Nick Fury brings in resident Godzilla expert Yuriko Takiguchi his assistant Tamara Hashioka and his grandson Robert Takiguchi to help. As a S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion tries to stop the King of Monsters with various weapons, it all proves nothing more than an exercise in aggravation for the giant monster. After the monster destroys everything SHIELD throws at it, it manages to leave the scene unscathed. Meeting up with Fury, Dugan is introduced to Takiguchi and his clan and they begin to discuss how they may stop Godzilla. Tamara talks of a secret weapon that they have been devising to use against the monster.
