¡The Ring of the Nibelung Complete Edition4 (Fukkoku Meisaku Manga Series)
¡Matsumoto Reiji
Description
[Machine Translation] In the fourth volume of the first complete edition of the Harlock Saga, "Twilight of the Gods," which was serialized in "Web Shincho" from July 1999 to December 2000, is published for the first time in comics after 25 years. This is the long-awaited new publication by Leiji Matsumoto. Based on Wagner's opera, "The Ring of the Nibelung" is a four-part work featuring all of Matsumoto's characters, including Captain Harlock. Using scans from the original manuscripts still in existence and the latest digital technology, the complete four-volume edition of the work has been restored, including the fantastic Part 4, "Twilight of the Gods," for the first time. The second part, "Valkyrie," was published on the online magazine "Web Shincho," and became a pioneer in the serialization of manga on the Web, receiving 400,000 hits every day, even though the Internet penetration rate was less than 10%. However, the fourth part, "Twilight of the Gods," which began serialization in July 1999, was discontinued after the last update in December 2000 due to Leiji Matsumoto's busy schedule, and Web Shincho ended its service in 2010 without any comics being published due to its incompleteness. The work became a phantom work that could not be read even at the National Diet Library.
