(W) Yoshikazu Yasuhiko; Yoshiyuki Tomino; Hajime Yatate The classic Gundam series now in a premium Deluxe Edition hardcover!PRAISE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES It's a good book. Very good, actually. Very good war comics, requiring no prior experience with anime or mecha or Gundam-just a well-made, old-fashioned war comic, full of thrills and spills and lucky breaks and narrow escapes and preening villains you'll love to hate and pigheaded heroes you may hate to love, and expert drawings by a master craftsman, and hard, sturdy violence. -Joe McCulloch, The Comics Journal One of the best drawn and told manga works of recent memory… If you want to understand the fuss around the original Gundam, or even read one of the better manga works out there, then Gundam: The Origin is definitely worth checking out. -Ollie Barder, Forbes WINNER: BEST MANGA [2013] This manga was penned by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko-and who better to handle the transformation of the show from screen to page than the man who had key roles in the original series, from character design, to illustration, to layout? -NEO Magazine (U.K.) Yasuhiko's work is just really strong throughout. Fights between mobile suits are exciting, and manage to stay clear despite an impressive amount of detail… These releases deserve as much love as was put into them.-Joseph Luster, Otaku USA While it goes without saying that Gundam fans should enjoy these books, they are also a good read for those who simply like a science fiction or a war story that is well-written, nicely illustrated, and full of interesting characters… [S]eriously good literary entertainment. -Anime News Network No real knowledge or understanding of the original MSG is needed… What follows are hundreds of pages of suspenseful war drama and sci-fi explosiveness, all of which is well and good (seriously good, actually; this is an intensely fun sci-fi epic), but it's the visuals that you are truly getting this book for. -Graphic Novel Reporter A compelling coming-of-age story. It spins personal and political drama together in a way that is both engaging and satisfying… This is a series you will want to put into a teen's hands, even if they don't know it yet. Once they start reading, they won't want to put it down. -School Library Journal Blog NetworkThe storied Gundam franchise's First Season that set new standards of verisimilitude for televised sci-fi animation returns in comics form at the hand of one of the initial creators! The definitive account expands on the classic narrative with the same sense of purpose that lit up the screen more than four decades ago.This new edition collects the original bestselling twelve-installment English release into six oversized volumes.
