Manga in the 80's Pt. 10
We also had stand alone issues of Manga
released as one-offs at the end of the 80's, and Go Nagai's Iconic
“Mazinger” was one to get.
Mazinger. Written and illustrated by Go
Nagai. Published by First publishing Inc. in November December 1988. The manga
was originally published by Dynamic publishing Inc.1988.
The year is 214X, eight years after the nuclear war
and its nuclear winter the ten percent of humanity is split between
North & South as the new super powers fight for resources, thus
starts the one hundred years war, with war machines of gigantic size!
Our hero young Major Koji Kabuto is
flung in to battle in the Combat Robot Mazinger, the masterpiece of
the subterranean arsenal. As the battle rages something he is
unprepared for happens and the battle shifts, changing his motivation to saving a beautiful woman from the horrors of war!
[Note. Go Nagai is known for his part in
the Japanese robot revolution on TV in the 1970's and his reputation
for hypersexual psycoviolence (Cutie Honey, and Devilman) changed the
manga industry for kids comic-books & comic-strips for that
decade and beyond, spawning many Anime tv series.]
[NOTE: so far as I can find in the publications of "FIRST COMICS" in the 1980's, the issue of this bespoke graphic novel (MAZINGER) made for an North American market, is the only other title apart from "Lone Wolf and Cub", from Japan to be published!]

[Note. A four page article by Frederick Patten on Go Nagai at the back of this graphic novel is well worth reading.]
"MANGA: THE NEXT GENERATION!"
"THE WORLD PREMIRE OF THE FIRST ORIGINAL FULL-COLOR FULLY PAINTED MANGA."
This full colour advertisement was printed in two issues of the "Sable" comic book in 1988, proclaiming that; "MANGA: THE NEXT GENERATION!" "THE WORLD PREMIRE OF THE FIRST ORIGINAL FULL-COLOR FULLY PAINTED MANGA."
This B&W advertisement was printed in an issue of "Sable" comic book (1988).
[NOTE: having to buy a selection of comic books that, just on the off chance that there would be advertisements for this ONE-OFF comic book, did pay off, for me outweighs the cost of the ITEM PRICE: £25.00 ORDER TOTAL:£31.50. (AUGUST 26Th. 2022)]
