Description
[Machine Translation] Master manga artist Osamu Tezuka's masterpiece horror series, serialized from 1969 to 1970, has made its long-awaited first appearance in one volume in the "original edition" after 52 years! For the first time, all the stories are included in the order in which they were serialized. This is the first A5-size "one volume" publication of the first version, including unabridged pages, color pages, and "previews for the next installment" of each episode. This work gained popularity in the bi-weekly "Shonen Champion" (published by Akita Shoten) from 1969 to 1970. At the time of its serialization, it was called the "Fear Series," but it was actually an ambitious work that made full use of a variety of expressions and storytelling styles that cannot be summed up in a single word, such as horror, science fiction, fantasy, social satire, and humorous school comedy. In later years, because of the diversity of styles in the stories, they were often divided into anthology books on different themes, but never published in book form in accordance with the serialization. This time, the first book has been published 52 times since its first appearance. This time, 52 years after the first publication, the long-awaited "original edition" will be published for the first time. The book is the first A5-size book (previously published in new book, B6, 46, and paperback editions) with the same order and content of the episodes as in the original serialization, and is newly scanned from the original manuscript to ensure high image quality and high quality fade-resistant paper. The most significant feature of the new edition is the inclusion of all the previews for the next installment, including cuts by Osamu Tezuka, which were included on or near the last page of each installment in the series. Because this is an omnibus serialization, readers' anticipation of "What will the next story be like, with what kind of touch? The omnibus serialization of the story has a great effect on the reader's anticipation of the next installment. All of the above were removed when the book was published in book form, and the panel layout and page layout of each story were changed accordingly. In addition, the advertisements and articles that were in the text of the serialization were omitted, and the page layout and column layout were changed there as well. For these two reasons, there were many cuts that were not included in the book or were added to the book. In this book, the text is returned to the style of the serialized version, and the differences between the serialized version and the book version are explained in the illustrations at the end of the book. In addition, pages not included in the book and the first color pages are reproduced. The book includes rare materials such as all door pictures, previews, and color illustrations, as well as detailed illustrations, and can truly be called the definitive edition! [This is a limited edition, so don't miss it!
