Synopsis: The Thing visits his girlfriend Sharon Ventura who's a stunt woman in a movie about Devil Dinosaur. When he reaches the remote island the movie is being filmed on, he becomes a nuisance to the crew as he damages the robot Devil Dinosaur prop thinking it was the real thing. He then decides to stay in his trailer and vows to not get involved anymore. Meanwhile a huge dinosaur surfaces and attacks the set. The special effects crew try to fight him off by attacking him with props. The dinosaur destroys them but is startled by the sparks and retreats back to the ocean.

Disclose Notes: The dinosaur is the mutated Godzilla last seen in Iron Man #196 (July 1985). He is even referred to as "Godzilla" by the Moon Boy actor in one panel.

The props that Godzilla fights are the robot Devil Dinosaur and a robot Pterodactyl.

The actor playing Moon Boy is wearing a brown furred suit. Moon Boy had blue fur in the 1978 Devil Dinosaur series. While Sharon in costume as a cave woman is wearing a blue furred suit on the cover, she is wearing a brown furred suit in the interior art.
