Here’s my entry for Gamera vs. Zine-Ra, the 50th Anniversary Gamera zine. You still have time to submit - submissions close on July 1st! See the full details here!
I think the comic mostly speaks for itself. Last year I wanted to start a kaiju-based webcomic called The Heavenly Hendrix but was too scared as drawing monster fights among buildings seemed far too difficult. So this was an experiment to see if it was possible and I really enjoyed doing it! Some perhaps more of this stuff in the future.

Oh how I wish this was going to be an actual crossover.
This sequence starts awesome and just keeps getting better. Guiron putting the smackdown on Space Gyaos, from Attack of the Monsters (1969)
Y’know…a thought occurred.
In literally a manner of weeks, it’s going to be 2015.
Anyone remember what 2015 is?
Gamera’s 50th birthday.
Know how it’s being celebrated? An action figure. Thusfar, there is going to be one, single figure from S.H. Monsterarts. There…

Radio Blue Heart presents TALES FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN!
Episode 52: Gamera The Invincible!
Yes, this is the “Americanized” version of the film that, much like the “Godzilla, King of the Monsters” version of “Godzilla”, this film was re-edited and news scenes with American actors were added. This version is public domain while the original Japanese is still copyright protected.
In an icy North American region, a Soviet bomber is shot down by an American fighter jet. The bomber crashes and its cargo, a low-level atomic bomb, explodes. The resulting cataclysm awakens a giant, prehistoric monster called “Gamera”, who has the appearance of a giant turtle with large tusks.
Gamera destroys the American jet with his fireball and escapes into the sea. The monster heads to Japan and surfaces from Sagami Bay, destroys the city of Fujisawa and retreats back into the sea. Scientists and government officials hold a conference to discuss killing the monster.
Gamera destroys a research ship, kills the crew, and then heads to Tokyo. He is sedated and hit by group of bombs. Gamera awakens in time, protected from the bombs by his hard shell, and escapes the attack with a new ability: flying.
Gamera lands in and proceeds to Tokyo, rampaging through the city. The military observes that he ate fire from the buildings he destroyed, and they devises “Plan Z”. Using fire, they lure Gamera to a missile complex, where he is imprisoned in a giant rocket ship. Held by strong chains, the monster is launched into outer space, presumably never to return.
This film was created as a “Mock-Buster”, an attempt to make a quicky rip-off of another popular film, in this case “Godzilla”.
Its up to the writer and her doctor (played by Price) to find who this killer really is!
Once again this film is PUBLIC DOMAIN and not copyright protected in the US at least. You can make and sell your own DVD of it, download it, show it for free or for profit. Or remix it or use it for stock footage
