A*ha Esso Monthly Comic (Issues 1-11)
Near complete set of A*ha, an alternative manga and illustration magazine put out in Japan by Esso (!) in the early 90s. Unusually, it's full color and in a typical magazine format (rather than say Garo size or tankōbon). Many mangaka that are unfamiliar to me but brilliant illustration throughout and notable for having a ton of Shigeo Ito, a personal favorite. Every issue has one story by a Western artist, these include Gary Panter, Mark Beyer and Guido Crepax (to give you an idea of the general taste).
Artists include: Seiichi Hayashi, Shigeo Ito, Kazuyoshi Iino, Ira Okudaira, Toshiki Sawada, Gen Azuma, Shoko Toriumi , Purin Mizuno and Kaoru Akiyama.
Shipping: US only.
Condition: Issues 1-3 have a few creases (shown in photos), else very good.
