Description
Myths and legends about The King of the Monsters abound. Now is your chance to read them all!
The Godzilla Library Collection is a comprehensive line of books that will collect every comic series by IDW!
Beginning with Gangsters & Goliaths, Detective Makoto Sato is on a quest to bring down the Takahashi crime syndicate, but Sato’s efforts earn him an unexpected one-way trip to Monster Island! Alone and facing death at the hands of both mobsters and monsters, Sato can only survive using his wits and the aid of some unusual friends in this pulp-fiction yarn by John Layman and Alberto Ponticelli.
Next, within a world where monsters roam freely, some stories have been lost to time...until now! In Legends, Godzilla’s fearsome rogues’ gallery—including Anguirus, Rodan, Titanosaurus, Hedorah, and Kumonga—takes center stage in terrifying tales from Chris Mowry, E.J. Su, Bobby Curnow, Dean Haspiel, Mike Raicht, Tony Parker, Jonathan Vankin, Simon Gane, Matt Frank, and Jeff Prezenkowski.
Finally, in The Half-Century War, follow one man’s journey from the moment Godzilla’s reign of destruction begins in 1954, continuing over his lifetime, taking him from Ghana to India…and maybe even to the end of the world, as chronicled by James Stokoe.
