Did you know that, at one point, Godzilla was part of the Marvel Universe?
It's true: From 1977 to 1979, for 24 issues, "The Big G" occupied the same cultural space as Spider-Man, Captain America and the Fantastic Four--all of whom have cameos in this series, along with Jack Kirby's Devil Dinosaur and select agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., most notably "Dum-Dum" Dugan and Jimmy Woo. (Nick Fury pops up a few times as well.)
Doug Moench, better known for writing Werewolf by Night, wrote every issue, and Herb Trimpe, best known for his long run on Marvel's The Incredible Hulk, drew most of the issues, with Tom Sutton logging in for a chapter or two.
I was a big fan of the series when it first came out, and I had the Marvel Essentials volume pictured above--until I had to abandon La Casa del Terror (and nearly all of its contents) back in 2016.
But you know what? Ebay and Amazon Marketplace are wonderful places to visit. You can find damn near anything there.
Even a sorta/kinda treasured link to your past. Like this.

Wow! I never knew about this series. The idea is cool as hell but odd. Do you know anything about the reason for it?
