Original Getter Robo (1) (Reprinted classic manga series)

This is the first original edition, recreating the original layout from the original serialization.

The reptile species, which once ruled the surface, were believed to have been wiped out by the forces of nature. However, some species escaped into underground magma and evolved independently into the reptile human race, secretly plotting to reclaim the surface. Sensing the reptiles' activities, Dr. Saotome begins construction of the ultimate combat machine, the Getter Robo. However, its power is so great that ordinary humans cannot control it. The doctor focuses on two young men: martial artist Ryuma Nagare, student activist Hayato Kami, and judo club captain Musashi Tomoe. The three young men pilot the Getter Robo, which can transform into three different forms, and confront the reptiles' invasion plan. This book is a collection of the sci-fi robot comic by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1974 to 1975 as the basis for the TV anime Getter Robo. It has been published in book form several times, but this time it includes reprints of pages never before published in a book, such as the front pages of all serialized works, most of which are being published for the first time, as well as previews before the series began. It recreates the pages as close as possible to when they first appeared in Weekly Shonen Sunday.
