Kyofu Shimbun (The Horror Newspaper) [Original Edition] Vol.1 (Akebono Comics)

[Machine Translation] In 1973, the serialization of *The Horror Newspaper* began in *Weekly Shonen Champion* (Akita Shoten) and instantly sparked a massive craze. To this day, its impact has not faded, and it continues to exert a significant influence on J-Horror. This book is a deluxe edition that reproduces the legendary *Kyoufu Shimbun* as faithfully as possible to its original form during its serialization in the weekly magazine. The format is B5, the same as *Weekly Shonen Champion*, the magazine in which it was serialized. Since the original manuscripts were drawn with this size in mind, readers can fully appreciate Jiro Tsunoda s brushwork, composition, and the intensity of the artwork elements that were not fully conveyed in the tankobon (collected volume) format. Pages that were in color during the serialization have been reproduced in color, and the opening pages for each installment are also included. Furthermore, episodes not previously included in the collected volumes have been added, and ultra-high-precision printing brings back the intensity and atmosphere of the original. Additionally, since some dialogue appeared slanted in the weekly magazine version, all dialogue has been retyped from scratch for this volume. In addition to previews of the next issue and the color posters that were included as magazine supplements during the serialization, this volume also reprints a special feature on flying saucers and a special edition of the *Terror Newspaper*. We have strived to recreate, as much as possible, the excitement and atmosphere unique to a magazine serialization from the 1970s. Volume 1 includes a collection of color illustrations left behind by Jiro Tsuno, as well as a detailed list summarizing the issues in which each chapter appeared, synopses, and the volumes in which the chapters were collected. It also features a commentary by Go Bito, Jiro Tsuno s son and current representative of Hata Planning. The publisher, Kaya Shobo, has Akebono Shuppan which has published Jiro Tsuno s collected volumes as an affiliate. Due to this connection, this book is being released by Kaya Shobo under the Akebono Comics" label.

1973年、『週刊少年チャンピオン』（秋田書店）で連載が始まった『恐怖新聞』は、たちまち一大ブームを巻き起こしました。現在に至るまで、その衝撃は色あせることなく、Jホラーにも大きな影響を与え続けています。 本書は、その伝説的作品『恐怖新聞』を、週刊誌連載当時の姿にできる限り近づけて復刻する豪華版です。 判型は、連載誌であった『週刊少年チャンピオン』と同じB5判。もともとの原稿はこのサイズで読まれることを前提に描かれているため、単行本サイズでは伝わりきらなかった、つのだじろう先生の筆致、構図、画面の迫力を存分に味わうことができます。 連載時にカラーだったページはカラーで再現し、各回の扉ページも収録。さらに、単行本では未収録となっていたエピソードも加え、極精密印刷によって、当時の迫力と空気感をよみがえらせます。 また、週刊誌掲載時にはセリフに傾きが見られる箇所もあったため、本書ではセリフをすべて新たに打ち直しました。次号予告や、連載当時に雑誌付録として付いていたカラーポスターに加え、空飛ぶ円盤の特集記事や『恐怖新聞』の号外も再録。1970年代の雑誌連載ならではの熱気とムードを、可能な限り再現しています。 第1巻には、つのだじろう先生が残されたカラーイラスト集をはじめ、全話の掲載号、あらすじ、コミックス収録巻などをまとめた詳細なリストを掲載。さらに、つのだじろう先生の御子息であり、現在、秦企画代表を務めるビトウゴウ氏による解説も収録しています。 なお、版元であるかや書房は、つのだじろう先生の単行本を刊行してきた曙出版を関連会社に持っています。その縁から、本書はかや書房より発売し、レーベルは「アケボノコミックス」として刊行します。
