Godzilla Saves America: A Monster Showdown in 3-D is a book written by Marc Cerasini and illustrated by Tom Morgan and Paul Mounts. It was published by Random House in 1996.

Plot
Acting on orders from Hunter D Nebula aliens, King Ghidorah arrives on Earth and launches an all-out assault on France, culminating in the destruction of Paris. As he moves on to the rest of Europe, Japan's U.N. ambassador reminds world leaders that Godzilla was able to defeat the three-headed monster in the past. As if listening, Mothra calls the King of the Monsters up from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. He follows her into San Francisco and across the United States, having a brief encounter with Rodan at Mount Rushmore. The U.S. military elects not to attack him, as he seems to be avoiding unnecessary destruction, and launches a futile naval strike against King Ghidorah instead. Godzilla and King Ghidorah collide in New York City. Just as the space dragon gets the upper hand, strangling Godzilla with his long necks, Mothra distracts him with her sonic antennae beam. Her gale-force winds, combined with a tail whip from Godzilla, bring a skyscraper down on King Ghidorah's heads. After that attack, he retreats into space. A grateful planet watches as their two giant defenders return home.
