Why Collect This Copy?

Gringo is one of Osamu Tezuka's later works and was serialized in Big Comic from 1987 to 1989. The series remained unfinished.

This copy is particularly appealing to collectors because it is an original 1988 Japanese first edition, rather than a later Tezuka manga collection or modern reprint.

For collectors building a library of Tezuka's original Japanese publications, early first editions such as this can be especially interesting.
