Godzilla Vol 1 9
"The Fate of Las Vegas" April 1978
Continued from the previous issue.
Godzilla has just arrived outside of Las Vegas and has attacked Boulder Dam, the torrent washing Godzilla towards the city of sin, which entices the creature with its shiney lights. While in the city, Winslow Beddit, has only one dime left and a choice: use it to call his wife or put it in the slots in hopes of winning riches which may pay for medical treatment for his mother.
As Winslow's luck begins to change and he actually starts winning Gozilla strikes the city, and the Godzilla Squad prepares to mobilize out to the area. Soon the rest of Boulder Dam cracks open, causing a torrential flood that decimates the city, causing Winslow to lose his riches. While Godzilla leaves the city for a more peaceful local, Winslow's riches have been washed away except for one last dime. This time he chooses to call his wife, who as we find out had left him three years prior AFTER his mother had died.
