Diving into the Godzilla-Marvel History
Way back in 1976, Marvel's then Editor-in-Chief, Stan Lee, acquired the rights to include the mighty Godzilla in the Marvel world. The result was the riveting Godzilla, King of the Monsters comic series. Penned by Doug Moench and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, the series, released between 1977 and 1979, saw our destruction-loving reptile wreak havoc across the United States and even face off against notable Marvel entities like S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers.
Celebrating Godzilla Returns in Style
As a tribute to this unique mix of monstrous action and superhero thrill, Marvel has decided to reprint the entire series in full color for the first time ever. But that's not all. To make this occasion all the more memorable, they have also decided to release new Godzilla variant covers in all their glory!
Out of these 21 thrilling variant covers, Marvel has already revealed 15, featuring Godzilla battling it out with famous Marvel heroes. So you can enjoy viewing the towering beast squaring off against the likes of the Avengers, the X-Men, Spider-Man, and even the hilariously irreverent Deadpool.
What's New in Godzilla-Marvel Releases?
Marvel aims to delight the fans with Godzilla #1 Facsimile Edition, the reprinted version of Godzilla, King of the Monsters' first issue, maintained in its original format (ads included!). Alongside this, they are also releasing the Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, which gathers all 24 episodes of this iconic series.
