Story Featuring Godzilla

"An island in the Aleutian chain, one which could be well called--"

Storyline

While battling Godzilla, Dum Dum Dugan notices Dr. Demonicus' hidden base. Meanwhile Demonicus unleashes his other giant monsters Ghilaron (a giant eight legged lizard), Lepirax (a giant moth), and Centipor (a giant centipede), against Godzilla. Gabe Jones defeats Demonicus while Godzilla kills Centipor (by burning it) and Ghilaron (by breaking its neck). Godzilla even saves Dugan from Lepirax by burning and squashing it underfoot after Lepirax was trying to destroy Dugan's helicopter. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents defeat Demonicus' men and liberate the Eskimos they were using as slaves.

Story Notes

In one sequence Dr. Demonicus explains his origin and fantasizes about creating an army of giant monsters to conquer the world with. Depicted is a giant fly, a giant bird monster with a spiky head, and a giant humanoid tentacled sea monster. Dr. Demonicus would next appear creating giant monsters to fight the Shogun Warriors in issues #7 through #14 of Shogun Warriors (Marvel, 1979 series), another licensed property from Japan.
