OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 70s MANGA

1 JŪSEI (GUNSHOT)
This is a collection of 11 short manga works by Otomo Katsuhiro, a minor between the ages of 17 and 19, produced between 1971 and 1974, from his time as a student contributor to his professional debut, in the order they were produced and published.
The author made his debut at the tender age of 19 with "Juusei" (Gunsei), published in the August 4th Special Issue of Manga Action in 1973. None of these seven early short stories have ever been published in a book, so while many may have seen the titles in the list of works in the short story collection "Short Pieces," few have actually seen the originals; they are literally "phantom early works."
In addition to publishing all of these works for the first time, this book also includes four completely unpublished works, as well as sketches and submitted works drawn before his debut.
