Rhodan- do not confuse with the Perry Rhodan s/f novels, was a
giant bird-llike dinosaur creature in Japanese monster films. He
was drawn more bird-lilke in the wing area than the more bat-formed
pterodactyls. Perry Rhodan is a serial character in science fiction
novels about the so-called Third Power. War oriented , but not
monster-battling. They were edited b y Forrest J. Ackermann of
RFamous Monsters magazine, but have no connection with the monster
called Rhodan, also spelled Rodan. No known prehistoric creature
bears this name there was the Pterandon , the larger variety of
flying reptile. Itis a big stretch from pterandon to rhodan!
