I’ve been enjoying August Ragone’s writing on Japanese cinema for many many years. I first discovered his work thanks to a terrific zine he first produced in the 80s’ called Markalite: The Magazine of Japanese Fantasy and since then I’ve read numerous articles he’s written for magazines such as G-Fan and Asian Cult Cinema over the years. Most recently he wrote the wonderful book Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters, which was published in association with Chronicle Books.
August Ragone has also just started his own blog called The Good, the Bad, and Godzilla and if you’re a fan of Japanese fantasy and science fiction films I highly recommend giving his new blog a look. You’ll finds news and information about his upcoming book signings and various events there as well as interesting bits and pieces about Japanese cinema.
Hi!
Like I wrote in another blog “I didn’t know where I should post this comment, so I put it here. Sorry if it’s in the wrong place…”
I found your blog recently and I must say that so far I like it a lot. I added a link on my blog in a small list of blogs that are worth reading.
Best regards,
Rui Baptista

I have at this moment a nineteen-inch tall vinyl Ultraman on my desk.
I feel better now.
