No problem buyers or HOS, please.

Payment will be PayPal "Goods and Services".  I might be persuaded take check or money order, and ship after it clears.

Shipping is included from Japan to about anywhere, yeah even Canada!(thumbsu

No returns on CGC books, but on raw books I will accept returns within 7 days.

Regular rules apply, first "I’ll take it" in the thread prevails over PM negotiations.

Truly rare 1959 Superman hardcover manga. These are all DC redrawn stories adapted by different manga artists such as Tatsuo Yoshida (Speed Racer and G-Force), with possibly as many as 7 different artists were used. The run was originally of 14 books. Here are issues 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8. #1-3 have partial detached covers which have been taped. There is tape on one side of book # 6. The books are in GD to VG condition, there are spine pieces missing and some page tanning, but they seem to be complete. The books are about 85 pages each printed with full-color pages, and single color pages as well (cyan, magenta, green, pink).
 Each book is about 22x15cm and about 2cm thick.
 
I think these stories were redrawn and adapted somewhat for content, but mostly because Japanese read manga from right to left and down. This was a joint and sanctioned publishing venture between National Comics (DC) and Shonen Gahosha.
