Godzilla

Marvel’s Godzilla (1977–1979) brought the King of the Monsters to the Marvel Universe, pitting the radioactive titan against the U.S. military and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents like Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, and Jimmy Woo. Written primarily by Doug Moench and drawn by Herb Trimpe and Tom Sutton, the 24-issue series followed Godzilla’s rampage across America while human protagonists—including scientists Tamara Hashioka and Rob Takiguchi—struggled to contain him. It stands as a landmark crossover of pop culture and superhero comics, blending kaiju spectacle with Marvel’s espionage and action sensibilities.
