As mentioned in a previous blog post, Comics Buyer's Guide #1691 (July 2012) contains a spotlight article in "Tony's Tips" by Tony Isabella on The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
To date, I haven't been able to snag a copy as none of the local comic book shops (three of them) did not have it in stock. However, as I also mentioned previously, Tony Isabella sent me a photocopy of his column. It was scanned and posted here.
The official website for Comics Buyer's Guide magazine has posted the cover and here it is below:
With this, I'll know what to look for when I go out perusing other comic book shops this weekend.
By the way, Tony recommended an anthology-slash-novel entitled, MM9 by Hiroshi Yamamoto (translated by Nathan Collins). It features interconnected stories of Japan's Meteorological Agency Monsterological Measures Department. These are government workers charged with protecting Japan from "natural disasters" of a monstrous vein (i.e., kaiju). I haven't seen this book mentioned in any Godzilla/kaiju-related forums as yet. But this book is tailored to the kaiju fan. Cover price: $14.99.
