“Fugitive in Manhattan!”

In "Fugitive in Manhattan!", a tiny Godzilla escapes his transport and finds himself lost in the heart of New York City, struggling to navigate a world far too large. As S.H.I.E.L.D. scrambles to track him down, the little monster faces danger in the sewers—where a fierce showdown with a sewer rat ends in a fiery burst of atomic breath. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Dan Green, colors by Ben Sean, and letters by Diane Albers, this 1979 issue features a cover by Herb Trimpe and Joe Rubinstein, capturing the chaos of a city under siege by a creature out of its depth.

While transporting the caged mini Godzilla to NYC, Godzilla escapes and lands in the Hudson (this is because Rob had unlocked the latch). S.H.I.E.L.D. begins scouring the city looking for him. Godzilla is unaccustomed to being tiny and almost gets hit by a car as he runs across the street. He falls into a sewer and is attacked by a sewer rat. A vicious battle ensues with Godzilla ultimately killing the rat by setting it on fire with his atomic breath. Godzilla crawls out of the sewer and runs into Rob just as the gas starts wearing off and Godzilla grows to the size of a human.
