This Island Earth (1955) - Metaluna Mutant

This Island Earth (1955)

Metaluna Mutant

Another Halloween B-Movie image!

If there is one image that represented aliens to my young imagination, it is the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth (1955).  Every book about monsters and bug-eyed aliens -- something which I sought out regularly as a kid as anything with monsters, aliens, and/or robots was guaranteed to capture my attention -- featured the Metaluna Mutant.

Gojira / Godzilla (1954)

Gojira / Godzilla (1954)

Hey, it's getting close to Halloween, so I figured I'd do some more B-Movie drawings in a similar style to the ones I did last year.  (Click HERE, HERE, and HERE to see them.)  And, what better way to kick it off than with the classic Man-In-Suit Gojira / Godzilla!

OK, sure the original 1954 Gojira / Godzilla movies probably wouldn't be considered a true B-Movie, with it being more of a meditation on nuclear war and the existential threat of atomic weapons.  That said, Gojira / Godzilla did fall quickly into B-Movie monsters and is one of my childhood favorites.
