Weekly Shonen King 1981 No.36 Galaxy Express 999 Leiji Matsumoto Cover Key Features Product Description: This is a vintage issue of Weekly Shonen King, No. 36 from 1981, featuring the iconic cover illustration of "Galaxy Express 999" by Leiji Matsumoto. The issue includes a special feature on the anime film "Farewell Galaxy Express 999," with a front-page color gravure and an in-depth discussion of the series' conclusion. At the time, the TV anime series had ended, and the movie had already reached its finale, but the original manga's ending was still ongoing, with Matsumoto declaring that the manga's conclusion would differ from the TV and film versions, making this a highly discussed topic among fans. This issue marks the beginning of the final chapter of the original manga, with anticipation building around its ending. The issue also features nostalgic popular manga series and is notable for being one of the last issues before the magazine's discontinuation in 1982. As a result, copies from the latter half of 1981 are rare and highly collectible. The magazine shows signs of age consistent with its vintage status but remains in good condition with no significant damage. Please note that this is a used item, and minor wear may be present.
