Anniversary cover – Comics BOOM

Cover variant released as an appendix of the magazine Weekly Comics BOOM n.42, October 2004.

Part of a six-variant set released across 2004 to celebrate the magazine’s 10th anniversary. The full list includes:

• Bleach
• Naruto
• Death Note
• Eyeshield 21
• Steel Ball Run
• Prince of Tennis

They’re among the rarest Thai variants ever made. A killer mix of popular manga, exclusive artwork (except for SBR), and a legendary magazine that helped shape Thailand’s manga scene.

That said, they’re basically archaeological relics for Indiana Jones-level collectors. You’ve got to approach them with that kind of mindset, ready to overlook the naïve design and super limited production.

Otherwise, all you’ll notice is the nearly transparent paper falling apart in your hands, the grainy print, and a quality that screams low-effort fan variant.

Still, they deserve much love. They’re a cornerstone of Thailand’s variant history and a must-have for adventurers who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
