Godzilla & Kong: The Cinematic Storyboard Art of Richard Bennett is an art book featuring storyboards from the Monsterverse films Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong illustrated by Richard Bennett. The book includes a forward by Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard, as well as an afterword by Kong: Skull Island production designer Stefan Dechant. Clover Press published it in January 2024 following a Kickstarter campaign which raised $46,925.[1] The funds, vastly in excess of the original $7,000 goal, allowed the book to have a ribbon, printed end papers, spot varnish on the cover, and a dust jacket. A 12-page Bennett sketchbook was also made available exclusively to Kickstarter backers.
