Rounding out Godzilla Manga Collection 1954-1958 is an adaptation of Godzilla Raids Again by Kayama Shigeru and Fujita Shigeru. The art remains super high quality. I especially love the two page spread of the plane flying over the green sea. Something about it hit me just right.
The third manga from Godzilla Manga Collection, an adaptation of the first Godzilla movie by Kayama Shigeru and Fujita Shigeru. Much less strange then the previous manga, but I really dig the art here. It’s pretty much my platonic ideal of 50’s manga. Especially that coloring, which is simply gorgeous.
I wish these were released in the west.
Sea Baragon (or Baraguma) appreciation post. Sea Baragon appeared in the first volume of Kodansya’s 1992 Godzilla manga series, and was a revived Baragon (after the fight with the Frankenstein monster), crossed with the DNA of narwhals and walruses.
I wish these were published in the west! These are so cool!

This is a page from fan comic by Godzilla suit actor Hurricane Ryu. It features a “sword and sorcery” anthropomorphic Godzilla.
Here is a larger (or at least more expansive) version of the comic page a reblogged a could of posts back. Once again, this is from a Japanese anthology comic called “The Godzilla Comic” published in 1991. This story was written and drawn by the actor who played King Ghidorah in “Godzilla vs King Ghidorah”. It is called “Godzilla: Monster Warrior” and has Godzilla transformed into a sword and sorcery type character.
I wish I could find this whole story. Even if I can’t read Japanese, it would be so badass!
