Godzilla vs. Barkley

(Dark Horse, 1993)
™ and ©1993 Charles Barkley Enterprises, Inc. and Toho Company Ltd.

Arguably one of the weirdest comics ever committed to paper, this one-shot gives the reader exactly what the title implies: a one-on-one showdown of immense proportions. One day, Godzilla decided to forsake his favorite Asian stomping grounds and come ashore in sunny southern California. It was just bad timing that Charles Barkley was there on that same beach shooting a commercial. Through the intervention of a small boy and a magic coin, Sir Charles is soon the tallest player in the NBA, and is staring eye to eye with the big lizard. Before long, they’re shooting hoops together at an abandoned missile base. If the idea of this ultimate pick-up game isn’t enough to hook you, consider that this is probably your only chance to see Godzilla wearing Nikes, or to see Barkley lecture a radioactive monster on honor and sportsmanship.
