Monster (manga)
Written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa, "Monster" was published in "Big Comic Original" from December 1994 to December 2001. The 162 chapters were periodically collected into 18 "tankōbon" volumes published by Shogakukan, the first on 30 June 1995 and the last on 28 February 2002. While writing "Monster", Urasawa began the series "20th Century Boys" in 1999, which would continue after "Monster" had finished. "Monster" received a nine-volume "kanzenban" re-release between 30 January and 29 August 2008.
Marvel Presents
"Marvel Presents" began publication with an October 1975 cover date. The first two issues featured Ulysses Bloodstone, a character created by Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, and John Warner for the "Where Monsters Dwell" series. Mike Vosburg was the artist assigned to the first installment, and then Pat Boyette was to draw the rest of the series. "Where Monsters Dwell" was cancelled and "Bloodstone" was moved to "Marvel Presents". The first two chapters were finished and were printed in issue #1. Due to the publishing delays, Boyette was unavailable for the second issue, which was drawn by Sonny Trinidad instead.
