Godzilla #4
In "Godzilla versus Batragon!", the giant reptile faces off against a monstrous hybrid of bat and Komodo dragon, unleashed after the creature sinks an oil tanker in the North Pacific. As Godzilla pursues the beast to a remote Aleutian Island, he uncovers the twisted lab of Dr. Demonicus—a mad geneticist in a purple demon skeleton suit—using meteor radiation to create giant monsters. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life by Tom Sutton’s dynamic art and Tony DeZuniga’s inks, this 1977 Marvel classic features a thrilling clash of titans, with Godzilla caught between a deadly monster and an unexpected military threat. The cover, by Herb Trimpe, captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.

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.
