I watched these cartoons the FIRST time around–when they actually aired on t. v. ! It was wonderful to be able to share them with my son (who is an IMMENSE Godzilla fan)and have him to enjoy them with. He likes them as well as I do and we also purchased volumes 1 and 3!

This volume contains the second four episodes of a great ” Monster of the week show”". It was around this time that the programs title was changed from Godzilla Power Hour to The Godzilla Super 90. Every week Godzilla
faught a new monster. What made this a little better than other american incarnations such as the Marvel
and Dark Horse comics was the use of monsters who were completely original in concept. The comics always used Toho rip off monster. (ie. Monsters who are vaguely similar to Toho characters). There are no fake King Kongs, Rodans or Mechagodzillas here. Its all original creations, like an Ultraman show. Some fans have complained about the lack of classic toho characters, but I think the repetitious over use of the same characters is what bogged down the later Showa Godzilla Movies and the more recent ones. (Will you guys at Toho please give Mothra and King Ghidorah a vacation!) Introducing a new foe each week is a much better approach.

Monsters episodes:
Episode 5: The Seaweed Monster is an ever growing patch of kelp.
episode 6: Alien Energy Beast is a giant glowing size changing centepede type creature that arrives in a flying
saucer and can assume the form of anything, including Godzilla.
episode 7: Collossus is agiant one eyed, tentacled alien robot from the lost civilisation of Atlantis, revealed to be a giant flying saucer.
episode 8: Cyclops. An ancient alien civilization left behind an invisible energy field on a lost island, to keep the mythilogical Cyclops, here depicted as a crad like biped with lobster claws. We are never told where the cyclops came from. Is he an ancient earth creature or did he arrive with the aliens.

This is supposedly the last volumeto be released and there are no plans to releae any more.
