The classic Gundam series now in a premium collector's edition hardcover! The storied Gundam franchise's 'First Season' that set new standards of verisimilitude for televised sci-fi animation returns in comics form at the hand of one of the initial creators! The definitive account expands on the classic narrative with the same sense of purpose that lit up the screen more than four decades ago. This new edition collects the original bestselling twelve-installment English release into six oversized volumes. All of the many colour pages - unusually numerous for Japanese comics - have been retained... only at a larger size. The master's artwork has never looked so grand! (Does not include essays and illustrations from the original release that are not the author's own)
