chrono Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I just found some scanlated Gunhed manga. Has this ever been officially translated? http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=h...headp000sy9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7725 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Yes; at least, it has an english copy (with that art on the cover). I have a copy of it somewhere, but I can't recall the publisher offhand. EDIT: You got very lucky; it was in the first cupboard I opened. Yeesh, it yellowed quite a lot. It was published by Viz Comics as a graphical novel. EDIT EDIT: Opps. Apparently Viz first published as a 3-set translation. I got the graphical novel format.

It's a shame though because know it's gonna be incredibly hard to find, stupidly expensive, or only findable on low quality book sellers. Can you give me the publishing date & the ISBN from each book that way it's easier to avoid buying duplicates or a novel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you believe I can't find any? Sheesh. I'm not kidding. The inner page only had the copyright for Gunhed as a whole, and there wasn't an ISBN that I could see. Even Mile High Comics doesn't have an issue OR an image. This is going to be hard to find... (and MHC doesn't have the ISBN either). This might be it but without an image I can't tell for sure. Amazon lists two possible ISBN: 092927914X or 978-0929279145, but again, no image so can't tell for sure. Year seems to be '90 to '92 -- different sources give different dates. Given the difficulties in finding these information, it might be better off if you pick up the individual comics (3 in total), rather than gunning for the TPB.

chrono Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 WAITAMINUTE! There are 3 american comic book styled releases and in total only a single GN!?!? Well damn, I may have found several copies then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You guys do know of a little place called eBay right? TONS of Gunhed volumes there. The TPB version has the red widescreen stripes and the drawings were in colour...at least my version was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'll NEVER go near eBay. I'd use eBay if I could handle the goods, but not otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ISBN on my TPB copy is ISBN: 0-929279-14-X Sunrise 1991 Viz did the English translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyatsu Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 viz published gunhed manga back in the 90's. there's a total of 3 books for the series. i rented the liveaction movie at tower records (back when i was still going to college) and i have to say it's so horrible. the manga is pretty good and very nice art cover. if it's not too expensive to get, i recommend you getting it. i used to leave the manga around my coffee table back at my old apartment, but once i moved to my current place, i just boxed it away and man i want to read it now. kyatsu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
