Does anyone own any of the Dark Horse comics? I'm looking for pictures of the kaiju within to get a better understanding of their powers.
Once I get a few more cutting room entries off the backburner, I was really wanting to cover the original comic book monsters (especially love the early Dark Horse ones). Their powers are pretty basic, though, plenty of tooth-and-claw but little in the way of energy attacks. Bagorah's screech can send out small blasts, and I think Burtannus could emit electricity from its horn Megalon-style.Birdman wrote:Does anyone own any of the Dark Horse comics?

Heck yeah, never seen that before, that's great. Here are 2 for Cybersaur!

The Dark Horse Ghidorah, Mothra, and Anguirus archetype concept art pieces have been around for a while, but I haven't seen anyone share this before, anywhere really (could be wrong). I do wish there was more concept art of some of the Dark Horse characters out there, but I haven't seen anything else.
Bagorah's pretty rad for an original monster, not over-designed but nevertheless unique enough to stand out. Dark Horse had some pretty neat monsters.
Oh sweet! Anguirius and Mothra I like. Ghidorah I'm not quite so sure...I think it'd grow on me. Interesting how it seems like when Americanizing Mothra and Ghidorah more we do a few things. Mothra's stronger insect vibe and Ghidorah wing-walking which I don't mind that. Those little extra legs are a bit weird. Still something about that Ghidorah seems kind of small or scrawny to me. I think it'd grow on me. I like Anguirius' front arms, the stinger tail is a little weird.The One and Only wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2012 8:32 pm

Oh wow, those are great; totally new to me. Wish there was a source, though. Doesn't look like Adams' style, to say the least. Brandon McKinney maybe? He did the art for those issues.GigaBowserG wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 2:35 pm

kaijukurt, the image of Bagorah, has been in comicartfan for years. And there is no HD version.kaijukurt wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 8:46 pmShenanigans wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 12:11 pm Bringing this thread back to share something I haven't seen shared here before - Bagorah concept art by Art Adams.

First time seeing this! By any chance do you have an HD copy?
I can’t seem to find the image on the web.
Not that I know of. You can order the TPB on Amazon or Ebay if you want to pay over-inflated prices (the trades are not even in color, so it's not really worth it imho), or see if you can get a hold of the Japanese Echo 6 TPB color edition called "Godzilla Collection 95" from the Godzilla Store whenever they open their American store (it's all in Japanese of course).
I did find the 1987 Dark Horse Godzilla: King of the Monsters Special scanned to be seen and read here, if it's any consolation. https://viewcomiconline.com/dark-horse- ... -issue-1/Mr. Yellow wrote: ↑Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:14 pm Sad part is I just did up pay for the trades as I got sick of waiting, but now of course there's hope....
