STARLOG POSTER MAGAZINE (Vol. 1, 1983)

 

It's not often that we get to add a "new" vintage item to our Chronological List of American Godzilla Items, but here is one I had overlooked until now.  STARLOG magazine put out many all-poster issues over the years, but the first was in 1983, and featured Godzilla as one of the double-sided, pull-out posters.

Inside was a one-page feature on each of the posters.  This Godzilla article starts strong, but ends up repeating the legendary goof that there were two different endings to KING KONG VS. GODZILLA, which was often stated over the years in American publications.  They do a good job pointing out that the Godzilla poster included features the art used in the Italian colorized edit that fans now refer to as "Cozilla":

A version of which was also included with the first-ever issue of FANGORIA, in 1979.

The folded posters stapled into the magazine, and as you flip though, you will see some unintentional horrors, such as below!

Gaaaahhh!!!
