Godzilla #4

Nov 1977 · Marvel · 0.35 USD
“Godzilla versus Batragon!”

Batragon (a huge bat/Komodo dragon hybrid) sinks an oil tanker in the North Pacific. Godzilla engages him in battle and follows him to an Aleutian Island. This turns out to be the lair of Dr. Demonicus; a mad geneticist wearing a purple demon skeleton costume. Demonicus is using the radiation of a meteor to mutate animals into giant monsters. Godzilla fights Batragon and kills it by smashing its head against the ground. Meanwhile S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives and thinking Godzilla is attacking a secret U.S military base, attacks him.
