Stories

  • A Night at the Museum · 17 pages

    The twenty foot tall Godzilla causes a panic in New York City as he causes a traffic jam and starts trashing cars. Gladstone (a paleontologist and colleague of Dr. Takiguchi) suggests they lure Godzilla into the New York Metropolitan Museum. They do so with flares. Meanwhile the Fantastic Four show up and engage Godzilla in battle. The Thing knocks Godzilla into a Brontosaurus skeleton and eventually knocks him into a huge tank full of great white sharks that is a part of the museum's aquarium exhibit ("This week only.... Live Sharks").

Publisher’s description

The "Godzilla Squad" lures Godzilla to the Metropolitan Museum where they hope to contain him. Unfortunately,( just like back in issue #3 with the Champions) their plans are thrown off kilter when they get unwanted assistance from the Fantastic Four!
