Another entry in the long running Fantastic Collection
book series, volume 28 focuses exclusively on the 15
Godzilla films which had been made up to this point.
Like other entries in the Fantastic Collection series,
this title is very picture heavy, which makes it more
import friendly; however, the pictures themselves, and
the more cheaply made paper which the book was printed
on, aren't up to par with what one has later come to
expect from other books in the series. Volume 28 starts
out with a opening by Toho producer Tomoyuki
Tanaka, before diving into eight pages of glorious
color shots from the Godzilla films. What follows next
is nine pages of background information on the films
accompanied by almost unrecognizable, as the brightness
for these shots is unbearably low, black and white photos.
Next is a section devoted to director Ishrio
Honda and the kaiju of the Godzilla films, each
are accompanied by numerous black and white photos,
most of which are rarely seen in publication. As a closing
point, the book features a nice section dedicated to
the posters of the 15 Godzilla films, and has color
shots of 87 different posters in all; unfortently, most
of these photos are very small, measuring around 3 centimeters
tall and 2 centimeters wide, with some exceptions, like
the full size photos for the Godzilla
(1954) and Godzilla King of the Monsters posters.
