@thebeastisback Here’s the Godzilla thing I was talking about. I’m guessing it’s from a bigger playset or something.

Garage Sale book find #2: “Donald Duck in Disneyland.” Illustrated by the Walt Disney Studio, 1960. This is one of 3 Donald Duck/Disneyland books I found today, all for 50 cents each.

Garage sale book find #1: “Let’s give a Party” illustrated by Joanne Nigro. I absolutely love the illustrations in this book. I’m not familiar with Joanne, but her illustrations are fantastic. What’s funny is that this book is basically an ad for Jell-O (there’s even a recipe for it in the back).

My favorite of my pop-up book collection, “Pop-Up Hide and Seek.” It was done by Graphics International (under the guidance of Ib Penick) for Random House. It doesn’t have a date on it but I’m guessing its from around the 60’s.

Just came across this great little robot guy, while going through a box of building blocks that we picked up at a garage sale last summer. I don’t know how I overlooked this gem, but the markings on him say, “1978 Wilton Woodridge, IL.”

More thrift store finds. I was super happy to find a Hero for Hire comic (along with a John Romita Jr. Dazzler issue and a great Warriors Three, Marvel Spotlight issue by Big John Buscema).

Found this awesome book at the thrift store today. The plot is that Godzilla can’t find any friends on monster island so he goes to the city to find some. Unfortunately they misconstrue his search for a friend as an act of aggression and proceed to attack him with bombs. Godzilla just can’t catch a break!

It’s been a long time since I’ve done March of the Monsters so I wanted to at least get a few in this time around. I’ll post the actual piece to my site later today.

Absolutely love this page from the Fantastic Four: The Island of Danger book (1984). Earl Norem’s art is amazing!
