Story Featuring Godzilla

"Question: What is the difference between a freight train and a monstrous serpent as seen through the eyes of a creature such as Godzilla?"

Storyline

Aliens known as Betans (who are tall slender purple humanoids in gold outfits) transport Godzilla to their secret base on the moon and pit him against their monster the Beta-Beast (a large alien silverfish-like monster with bug eyes and quills). Godzilla kills the monster with his atomic breath. This impresses the Betans who hope he can fight off their enemies the Megans (red cyclopean humanoids) who are launching a trio of powerful monsters to destroy Earth. The Betans send Godzilla back to Earth as one of the monsters, Triax , reaches Earth knocking Red Ronin out of the sky.

Story Notes

The Beta leader explains that their war with the Megans have gone on for centuries and the Betans are on their last legs. He also explains that both races would conscript "alien dinosaurs" from different worlds to fight against each other. A panel depicts the Betans capturing a horned alien looking dinosaur while another panel depicts a battle between a griffin-like creature and a snake-like creature.
