1st printing. Written by Shigeru Kayama. Translated with an Afterword by Jeffrey Angles. Godzilla emerged from the sea to devastate Tokyo in the now-classic 1954 film, produced by Toho Studios and directed by Ishiro Honda, creating a global sensation and launching one of the world's most successful movie and media franchises. Awakened and transformed by nuclear weapons testing, Godzilla serves as a terrifying metaphor for humanity's shortsighted destructiveness: this was the intent of Shigeru Kayama, the science fiction writer who drafted the 1954 original film and its first sequel and, in 1955, published these novellas. Kayama's two Godzilla novellas, both classics of Japanese young-adult science fiction, have never been available in English. This book finally provides English-speaking fans and critics the original texts with these first-ever English-language translations of GODZILLA and GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 256 pages, Text Only. Cover price $19.95.
