Does anyone remember this one Godzilla picture book from the 90's, I remember reading it in 1996, where it mentioned inside that the American version had King Kong emerge victorious while the Japanese version said it was Godzilla?

Thanks!

Hmm, well I don't think I found the exact one I was thinking of there, but I'm about 90 percent sure what I was thinking of was a Critters of the Night book.

Also, since I realize my wording probably caused confusion, what the book claimed:

"In the American version (of the movie King Kong vs. Godzilla), King Kong emerges victorious, while in the Japanese version, Godzilla wins."

Ryan (ryancan564) | 146 comments Even though you said it was a kid's picture book, could it have been an encyclopedia Godzilla King of the Movie Monsters: An Illustrated Guide to Japanese Monster? It was released in 1996

There's a page on Wikizilla (Godzilla fan-page) that contains a list of books written about Godzilla, maybe that could help: https://wikizilla.org/wiki/List_of_Go...
