This promo is the birth of Godzilla in America and with the movie out I thought I would show my copy. They are hard to find but there is one on Ebay right now. I have had mine for about 3 years when I found out about its existence in a comic magazine.

So what book is this from?

 

It's a 4 page promotional comic from 1976. Godzilla appears on pages 3 and 4. Surprisingly, he is upstaged by Robotman. :cry:

 

I found a YouTube video which shows all the pages of this comic:

Ok, I was confused because the cover looks like the inside comic. Or maybe there is no cover?

 

In addition to the youtube posted above by rjrjr, I found this blog with pics of the pages of the book. It is interesting.

They are sort of hard to find. I have found five so far. I'm curious of the print run. These books were given out to theater goers back in 1976 as a promotion to the Godzilla film. I guess the print run info will be harder to find than another copy. :grin:
