Thank you for posting these Rex Summeral stories! I remember reading these in G-Fan years and years ago, yet I fear so many newer and younger fans are completely unaware of these gems. You're doing a great service for the kaiju fandom! :D

You’re very welcome! I figured I may as well publish the big masterpost now while everyone’s preparing to jump ship. I’ve been working on this on-and-off for a while now. Still have two more stories to upload and then I’ll put everything on a hard drive and upload it to the Internet Archive.

The Journal of Dr. Rex Summeral Masterpost

The Journal of Dr. Rex Summeral is a daikaiju fan fiction series centered around American “kaijuologist” Dr. Rex Summeral and his adventures around the world (and even off-world). Taking place in a combined Showa-Heisei timeline, the journals were originally used as a framing device to showcase fantasy matches with both Toho and Daiei characters. Eventually, a regular cast of characters was developed and the stories grew exponentially. The journals are regularly published in G-FAN Magazine under the pen of Skip Peel.

The purpose of this blog was to share the magnificent and character-enriched stories that Mr. Peel has written with the online kaiju community. With the advent of the internet, publications like G-FAN are arguably inferior formats and the creative content held within their older issues is all but nonexistent on the internet, leaving it up to dedicated fans such as myself to keep it archived before those old pages wither away. 

I hope the current generation of kaiju fans can learn to appreciate the creative prowess of our progenitors and enjoy the phenomenal stories that Mr. Peel has written.
