コミックバンバン [Comic Ban Ban]

A lively, all-ages anthology from Tokuma Shoten, Comic Ban Ban ran for 89 issues from 1983 to 1991, offering a mix of action, comedy, and adventure. The magazine was a launchpad for several notable creators, most famously including the early work of Tsukasa Hojo, whose series Cat's Eye and City Hunter both appeared within its pages. Comic Ban Ban helped define the energetic, character-driven manga style of its era, serving as a key showcase for rising talent in the 1980s.
