Italian large-format for Ishirō Honda’s kaiju classic. There are two distribution variants of this 2-fogli using the same artwork: one carries a small blue “ARDIN” slug at upper left (this copy), and the other shows a different distributor credit in that box. Content/credits are otherwise the same; collectors generally see the ARDIN-slug version less often, so it’s considered the scarcer of the two.
