Art Adams, Alan Moore and Godzilla
Comic book writer Alan Moore and artist Art Adams do Godzilla: The Musical. Adams has done a lot of Godzilla work in the past, I think he even worked on Dark Horse's Godzilla series (as a writer? I can't remember for sure.) He's a true fan and these pages look great. Moore is, of course, a genius. I remember getting some of these Songbook episodes in Negative Burn. They were weird little ditties and a lot of fun.

I wish that Arthur Adams would put out some sort of compilation book of all his Godzilla-related artwork- the man was born to draw that character.
Anyone caught this book yet? Usually I never do things like this, but this one deserved mentioning. “HELLS AQUARIUM” by Steve Alten, about the giant prehistoric predator Megalodon. One hell of a shark. http://www.amazon.com/Meg-Hells-Aquarium-Steve-Alten/dp/1935142046
Nice blogging on the Art work. Thanks for sharing such a interesting blog. I love the toys and pictures of Godzilla which is a huge heroic monster love most. I am having a huge collection ofGodzilla toys.

I saw this trailer when I was a very young kid. It made a big impression on me at the time. Strangely, I would have sworn it was in colour, and the monster was a virulent shade of green. It was doubling in size throughout the trailer and at the end was as big as a skyscraper. When I eventually got to see it, older and wiser, it was such a disappointment. Black and white, not very convincing, and the most memorable image in the trailer, where it towered over the buildings was a flat lie! Oh well, it was very much of its time. But I suspect it influenced the young Steven Spielberg and maybe it was, partially the inspiration for 'Jaws'. But I'll never forget that sick shade of green!
Post more of these if you have em Josh. These are awesome! I didn't have SciFi back then, so I didn't even know these existed.
Fascinating. What he says about magical experience is true, although he understates the dangers. I'm not sure if a lighthearted book on magic ritual is a good idea. It's only a fact that people have been driven mad by it. There is a reason why magic books are generally so hard to read. I guess that's changing now. Then again it's a free world (kind of) and he can do what he wants. I like the way he keeps grounded and rational, but is still brave and imaginative enough to embrace wider concepts. I've never read his work, but will now...
