Vol.1 – Gold Champion RED

Volume 1 cover variant released as an appendix of the magazine Champion RED n.9, September 2004.

A variant as rare as it is niche, from a series that practically no one outside Japan has read. Anyway, it’s a variant from over 20 years ago with new listings popping up once in a blue moon.

A perfect cover for:

• Fans of Masami Kurumada (even though the cover art isn’t drawn by him)
• Fans of gold covers (even though it’s just yellow with a plain texture and no “golden” effect)
• Fans of Japan’s Sengoku era (even though the manga’s story has absolutely nothing to do with the historical events of the Fūma clan)

Jokes aside, this is a piece of Japanese collecting history, a variant from a forgotten series by one of the most legendary mangaka of all time. Pure archaeology
