Description
This is a Japanese-language book or magazine about science-fiction subjects related to anime and/or modeling.
First published in December 2015 with Godzilla vs. Biollante Completion, the 17th installment in the Godzilla film series, this book series has continued steadily, focusing on the Heisei-era Godzilla films.
In 2021, the series took a new turn by covering Showa-era works for the first time, beginning with the third film King Kong vs. Godzilla, followed by the fourth film Mothra vs. Godzilla and the fifth film Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. These entries were well received by Godzilla fans.
Now, we're pleased to announce a new project centered on one of the most popular titles in the series: Invasion of Astro-Monster, the film where Godzilla ventures into outer space for the first time and Akira Ifukube's unforgettable march leaves a lasting impact.
Invasion of Astro-Monster Completion will be a definitive volume packed with a wide range of content, including gravure pages featuring numerous stills preserved by Toho Marketing and carefully selected color photos; three versions of the script (draft, preparation draft, and final script); a detailed look at the film's production history; interviews with a variety of cast and crew members (as available); film data; shooting schedules; a location guide; promotional material and prop features; and columns packed with fun facts written by a team of top-tier writers.
As with the previous Showa-era titles such as King Kong vs. Godzilla and Mothra vs. Godzilla, this book aims to be the ultimate resource on the film, offering the richest possible variety of content based on currently available materials.
