History Comicbook / GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters

* CanonForeigner: Professor Takiguchi, his grandson Robert, and Tamara Hashioka. In fact, aside from Godzilla himself, pretty much none of the characters from the movies appear. The fact that these characters were created by Marvel rather than Toho meant that they were still able to be used after the company lost the ''Godzilla'' license. Case in point, decades later, Takiguchi would appear in several issues of Creator/MattFraction's ''Comicbook/XMen'' run.

A comicbook set around Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, following him after he surfaces in USA and rampages through Franchise/MarvelUniverse for twenty-four issues (August, 1977- July, 1979). After the later Showa films of TheSeventies made Godzilla into more of a heroic character, Marvel's comic run portrayed him as an animal AntiHero who's just too danged big for the era he lives in. He smashes lots of stuff but also ends up saving humanity from other monsters. He's been described as a giant lizard version of TheIncredibleHulk.

As is generally the case with [[{{Micronauts}} licensed]] [[ComicBook/RomSpaceknight properties]] that are set in the MarvelUniverse proper, Marvel still owns the villains and supporting castmembers they invented for this comic, and they still show up from time to time in other Marvel books -- mainly the [[HumongousMecha giant robot]] Red Ronin and the [[MadScientist mad scientist]] Doctor Demonicus.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: In a Marvel Godzilla book, a time-travel crossover with DevilDinosaur was inevitable. The latter lives in a fun ThemeParkVersion of the Stone Age with cavemen and dinosaurs, so there you go.
