I really like the Japanese calligraphy you have incorporated into parts of the graphics, too. A nice touch!

It looks great.

Thanks guys, I am going to try to add stuff to the page weekly until it is finished (yeah right, like it will ever be finished).

The vertical B0 is the largest poster made for the first film.
The bigger poster you are probably thinking of is the 10-sheet for King Kong vs. Godzilla.
It will be on the site soon :)

That's the one... I had "10-sheet" in my mind for a reason! Please let us know when you post updates...

The Thierry hates "French Grande" for Godzilla is the same artwork as the smaller poster. The only difference is the artist's signature is larger and there is some spacing differences in the text on the right side. There is a nice photo of it in my book, but that was done from a slide and I have not taken another photo of it since (I actually have a friend come over and do all the photos of my large paper since I am so horrible at it), but I will get it on the site eventually.

There is a re-release French poster for Godzilla that I still need. If anyone would like to sell it, or knows where a copy is, I am a ready buyer.

You mean nearly the same as this one?

Post by: crowzilla on May 01, 2013, 06:03:07 PM: Mel, that Biollante B1 poster used to be probably the toughest (thought not the most expensive) from the 80s/90s series of Godzilla films.
Even now I don't believe Bruce has sold a copy, but Hideyuki had one not too long ago in one of his auctions and I've seen a couple of others surface.
Fantastic image on that one though.

Post by: Tob on May 02, 2013, 05:46:39 AM: Love the site! What a great archive of Godzilla posters...they are beautiful. Are you going to update the 1980s to current section? I hope so and hope it has lots of Ohrai's amazing posters for Godzilla.

If my little friend from Tokyo was real, I'm sure he'd approve too
