Godzilla: Here There Be Complete Collection

Travel through history with Godzilla in this trilogy of graphic novels full of action, adventure, and intrigue! From the 1500s to the 1950s, Godzilla battles from the age of discovery to the age of UFOs!

This omnibus collects the complete trilogy of Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons, Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons II—Sons of Giants, and Godzilla: Here There Be Aliens by writer Frank Tieri and artists Inaki Miranda and Angel Hernandez for the first time. 

Before humanity had successfully traveled the entire globe, it was believed that monsters ruled the oceans just beyond the horizon. “Here there be dragons…” was written on maps to denote the areas people dared not go. That is, until Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the seas, visiting foreign lands and collecting treasure. That’s what history tells us, at least, but history does not have the full tale. Monsters did lurk yonder, living on an island that still doesn’t appear on any map, and among them was the king of them all…Godzilla!

Then, in the sequel, discover the shadowy society that controls the secrets of the kaiju, from ancient Rome to colonial America and beyond. Who are the members of this Illuminati-esque cult, known only as the Sons of Giants, and what is their mission? More importantly, how have they been pulling the strings of every major kaiju encounter since the dawn of time?

In the finale, it’s the middle of the 20th century, and Americans everywhere are terrified of the strange lights hovering above them in the night sky…and they should be. These UFOs are actually the Xilien invasion force! Revealed to have already been on Earth during the events of Sons of Giants, the Xiliens have been attempting to destabilize the planet with the help of kaiju from outer space. With the aliens’ claws deep inside the U.S. government, will our rogue operatives manage to band together to save humanity?
