I got hold one some of the magazines with the Yamato ^^
I really like this series and have most of the manga edition.
But it a harder challenge to find those magazines the series were first published in .
And those magazines are way large with page then the Weekly Jump magazines.
So Shiroi Senshi Yamato were one of the long series about a dog as a main character,
by Yoshihiro Takahashi.
The series started in the year 1976 and ended in 1989 .
I got hold on following magazines ;
Monthly Shōnen Jump
- 1979, issue 2
There are 462 pages total
One color page (chapter page) and 38 pages with Yamato
I got this one from YahooJapan auction for 800 yen (without shipping)
- A other one from 1979, issue 20
The magazine are called ?: Super Jump.
I'm a bit unsure about this one .
* The seller I got this one from ( Four month ago) had mark this one as Yamato story.
I haven't thought more about this, until now ^^
And I got this one on YahooJapan for 600 yen (without shipping)
Seem that I got a great price
Anyway
There are a colored cover , 5 color pages.
16 red/grey/white/black colors pages, 13 blue/white pages
If we summary up , there are 34 pages, in total the magazine have 602 pages.
Monthly Shōnen Jump
- 1984, issue 5
This is a special anniversary edition called : Thanks 100th anniversary
In total the magazine have 528 pages
There are in total 53 pages with the series of Yamato. And the first page/chapter start with a color page of Yamato series, then 4 colored pages .
But the special with this edition isn't the facts that that Yamato is on the cover.It's the big double side poster inside the magazine.
The poster are 74, 5 cm long and 6,5 cm wide.
And at one side you can see Yamato his master and friend & his brother running.
At the other side there are different attack technique and date (year/date) for the Yamato's life.
You can also see friends,opponent that Yamato have to meet during the manga series.
The first page/chapter start with a color page of Yamato series.
Then 4 colored pages .
But there are also a add for Yamato items and a page with questionings about the series.
I guess you could win the items if you answer right and send the answer for the competition.
This seems to be from a Anniversary (according to Monthly Jump)
Please don't use the image without approve from me |
For those magazine are intresting to study .
Just the early drawing by Yoshihiro Takahashi are way beautiful to see.
But you also see some roots and inspiration from Yamato for the most well know manga & anime series :
Ginga Nagareboshi Gin
This magazine I got from a privet seller
I guess this one are one that I pay a high price on, but I can't remember how hight right now
