Now when it comes to artist in and outside of Godzilla comics Bob Eggleton is the man.
Born in During the era when the Comic industry started to explode with new hero's and villains. Spiderman, The Hulk, Fantastic Four just to name a few with many others has brought his love of comic books that gave him the hopes to one day work in the industry. Thinking it would be glamorous as kid as all kids would at the time he worked hard to make that dream.
Bob started to do some drawing when he was 5 back when was often at home sick his father gave him a chalk board to draw on to pass the time which is another spark to starting his love of art.Years later he found out the hard facts in life of what it really means to work on comics putting him in big disappointment, but that didn't put him down on art.
Despite that he enjoyed life to the fullest watching famous monsters movies like Godzilla,
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
Other then Classic monsters, he also enjoyed science fiction movies like the 2001 A space odyssey
and other science fiction films that were going on at the time of his childhood or the 50's classics in fact some of his earliest work were based on Rockets and believe it or not was not happy the way NASA designed it's rockets because they weren't the same as the rocket art work of the 20's and 30's.
The year 1979 was When he was just 18 years old he went to an art convention which was the spark that really got him into the world of art and painting for a career. Bob has said the artist's that inspired him the most was
Frederic Edwin Church & John Martin .
On what Bob said was mostly the landscapes for Frederic and the end of the world Style For John and in bobs mind that should work in science fiction art. During that time he asked a man at an art convention what is it that an artist should do for a career and I think it was about covers for books as advice. The Funny thing was that he dropped out of art school cause it just wasn't for him as the teachers said that he had to do a different style that he didn't like so he left. That's not to say that he didn't learn at all, in fact he learned a lot by going to museums reading comic books or maybe even looking at books on how to draw and his dad also helped him. 
This book cover was some of his earliest works as I said before for his love of science. Now you may know some of his more famous work mostly the dragons 
and he loves dragons in fact he has made several books about them. Now let me talk about him in the 90's to what I say really brought him to fame. Now he was always a big fan of the giant monster GODZILLA I don't know how he got involved with Dark horse comics ,but I say he was probably surprised himself that he got to do something Godzilla that wasn't fan art for a change and he did a few of the covers 
This one shown here is one of them. after he was done with dark horse he would go on to make cards for the famous card game called Magic: The Gathering from 1995-1997
These are just a few here. During that time in 90's he would be on a role of having the winning the
Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist with his first win in 1994 and has won the title 8 times. Now that is what I call great pride in art.
During his time as the years went by before IDW got the rights Bob would go on to do fan art of all kinds of things with GODZILLA being one of them he would even make his own sketch cards for this whole series of cards that's about Godzilla, according to what he told me he never liked doing advertisement at all because He often had to go with what the company asked for and Bob hated it.
when I showed him this card he was surpised with the price tag still on and said
"For $49? Man, I need to do more with the blanks I have!" I couldn't help but laugh when he said that, but hey that just him and something tells me when he does cards again he's going to add more stuff to it and make less empty.
When IDW got the rights to the monsters Bob would get involved with the comics again this time his art would appear more often, but before I talk about that let me tell you about his favorite magazine
Which was the kind of magazine mothers would not like too see there kids read them, but this was his as I would call his pride in joy and had never been so happy when he would get to draw and write for it and I believe he still works.
Now the series that want to talk about with Godzilla is GODZILLA LEGENDS too me this how he really got involved with IDW series and with the photo's you see below pretty much show it and I think he did a cover for almost every issue in Legends and they are probably worth more then the usual covers.
After that series was done you think he would stop, but nope he's still going and is now doing more covers one of which is comely called the Onging series even though the title doesn't say ongoing.
Well that's all I have to say about Bob and I couldn't put everything down, but I did what I could so Enjoy.
Yes what you are looking at is the one and only Kingdom of monsters #12 with the cover of Spacegodzilla.
Now that I have a job I can now buy stuff that's a little more costly and Matt Frank is a good friend of mine and knew that's what I wanted so after I bought he held it for me until I was ready to pick it up. I also bought an Original page of Godzilla Rules of the Earth issue 1 which I'll show later.
What I got was more then just the box I also got both the Manuel and others items that comes with the box which I was surprised since most of that stuff often doesn't survive 
So for all you Godzilla collectors out there find one with the box because It will probably be worth more then game it's self like it is for some toys where the box is worth more then the toy.
