ウルトラマン [Ultra Man] [Ultraman]

In 1968, Akita Shoten published a two-issue manga adaptation of the iconic tokusatsu hero, written and illustrated by 一峰大二. This compact series captured the essence of the original Ultraman, translating the television giant's battles into dynamic black-and-white panels. Though brief, it stands as an early, influential bridge between live-action kaiju storytelling and Japanese comics, cementing the character's presence on the printed page for decades to come.
