This is all kinds of hot!
Best. Godzilla. Art. Ever.
This is a page from the manga story, “Godzilla: Monster Warrior,” by mangaka/suit actor/Godzilla fan Hurricane Ryuu (Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah, Den-Ace, etc.), in the doujinshi anthology collection, The Godzilla Comic (1990). Imagine Bandai’s Tamashii Nations making a figure out of this guy! :)
I… I actually really want to read this! Anthropomorphic Godzilla by way of John Norman, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Frank Frazzeta! That’s pretty damn cool!
Ooh! I’ll be his damsel in distress any day!
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!
WANT! Wantwantwantwant!
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!
Firstly: 50+ Yay! Thank you everyone, especially those who’ve been with me since the beginning, I’ll be sure to give something for special for you all! Because in all honesty… I thought I’d never get even this far.
Now onto the Art itself, it’s actually my first foray into architectural art, and boy was it harder than the actual monsters themselves! :D.
It’s also one of my first forays into artistic scale, where I made someone bigger for symbolism than literal terms (because I’m used to that).
