The immortal Tezuka sci-fi hero "Big X" celebrates its 60th anniversary. Its origin = "Shonen Book" at the time it was serialized, has been published in book form for the first time
with the highest image quality ever!
It is a work that was done. Set in Japan in 1965, which can be said to be almost the same era as the serialization, this work opens with a battle for a new drug developed by Nazi Germany. The story unfolds while skillfully weaving the essence of the spy story. With its unique charm, it has captivated many readers.
At the time of its first appearance, it was serialized in Shueisha's "Shonen Book" and in a separate appendix. However, as with many of Tezuka's works, such as Astro Boy (1952-68), it had undergone extensive revisions and corrections when it was published in book form, and for a long time it was difficult to read it in its original form.
Therefore, with the full cooperation of Tezuka Productions, we collected and scanned all the pages of the "Shonen Book" in which this work was published and the separate appendix (approximately 1,950 pages: 23 volumes of the main magazine / 24 separate appendices). The magazine, which has deteriorated over time, has undergone thorough restoration, and will be compiled into a single volume as the first edition of "Big X" with the highest image quality that is easy to read in history. Until now, the first appearance of "Big X", which could only be read by touching the actual "Shonen Book", will be delivered to you in the form of a book for the first time.
Please take a look at it directly so that you do not miss this precious opportunity.

My understanding is that there will be many volumes in this series. I have the Atom series, 16 volumes. Forgot how much they cost, though. Would like this, too, but space is nearly full.
