Gojiro - by Mark Jacobson (Paperback)

About the Book

Once a normal monitor lizard, Gojiro was transformed into a giant lizard by an atomic test after WWII. Meanwhile, in an Okinawa hospital, Komodo--the world famous coma boy--reawakens for the first time since the Hiroshima blast nine years before. Together, the lizard and orphan venture forth to discover their identities in a world in which neither belongs. The story of their journey is geek love on a truly epic scale.
