Joseph presents :

exerts from the book-

unmade projects: In 1971 Kaoru Mabuchi submitted a story outline called earth defense order. This story actually acting as a planning version of Godzilla verses Gigan. In this story the super alien Miko uses the space monsters ghidorah megalon and gigan . Miko is a kind of disembodied brain



gee whiz facts: Did you know that godzilla versus the sea monster was originally supposed to be king kong versus ebira, but the americans wanted honda and tsuburaya to do it, but toho insisted jun fukuda do it, wehn the americans pulled out toho just subsituted godzilla for kong. Sorry for the spelling errors.

another movie was return of King ghidorah, which had Ghidorah, gigan, and a monster named Mogu challenge Godzilla Rodan and Varan.


Godzilla 1984 was supposed to have bagan in it. he was supposed to be a ble to turn into a ruler of the sea, of the land and of the air., like a fish, an ape, and a dragon :!!! there is a cool picture too

Damn, I didn't realize this book commanded such a high price.

Incase anyone is curious, to my knowledge, the only way to obtain this book when it was released (unless Ed sold some himself through other means, which is very probable) was to fill out an order form in some old issue of G-Fan, I forget which one. I recall the book cost $29.95 or there abouts, plus shipping, I think. I don't really remember.

A superb book. I still have mine on my Godzilla shelf. The only fault I find with the book is that the timetable at that point was such that it had to be released before Desotoroyah.

So I finally got a copy ( thank you ebay ! .....and a job ) ....yes expensive, but DAMN this is a good book...Been kicking myself since I never got it back in the day when I saw it advertised in GFan

So..Whats the sorted history on how/why its so limited ( 2000 copies ? ) Why did Toho put the kabash on it ...

Inquiring minds want to know. :)
