An epic celebration of Godzilla's 70th anniversary, exploring every aspect of the King of Monsters' creation, design, and evolution

Godzilla: The First 70 Years is a narrative and visual history of the King of the Monsters, chronicling the triumphs, challenges, and meaning of seven decades of city-trashing, kaiju-smashing mayhem.

It's also a tribute to Godzilla's creators and costars-the filmmakers, special-effects wizards, cast members, even the stuntmen inside the monster suit-and an appreciation of the behind-the-scenes artistry involved in bringing Godzilla to cinematic life, then and now.

Exclusive behind-the-scenes photography, production materials, posters, and lobby cards showcase: The Showa Era films (1954-1975) The Heisei Era films (1984-1995) 1998's Godzilla film produced by TriStar Pictures The Millennium Series (1999-2004) Legendary Pictures' Monsterverse Animated works Shin Godzilla (Japan's Picture of the Year, 2016) Academy Award-winning 2023 box office phenomenon Godzilla Minus One

Extensive visuals detail the evolution of kaiju design, as well as profile the creative contribution and SFX developments across seven decades of exceptional filmmaking and innovation.
