Ultra Q Coming To DVD in the U.S. in August

Monster Island News has announced that Ultra Q is coming to DVD in the US from Shout! Factory on August 13. This 28 episode science fiction fantasy series by Eiji Tsuburaya (pictured above with Godzilla), the visual effects wizard behind Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra, spurred the creation of Ultraman.

In the world of Ultra Q, the very fabric of nature is warped into a state of unbalance, and all manner of strange phenomenon and unearthly creatures threaten the very future of mankind! On the scene are a world-renowned scientist and his young friends — a female photojournalist, an aviator, and his co-pilot — who investigate these supernatural menaces. When sheer military might is futile, the intrepid team comes to the rescue, armed solely with their ingenuity and scientific prowess to quell these malevolent forces and restore the balance of nature.
