New Treasure Island (1984)

One day a boy named Pete finds a map of "Treasure Island" that his deceased father left behind. He starts on a voyage to find it together with "Captain," who was a friend of his father. But his ship is attacked by pirates, led by Bowarl, and the two are caught. When a storm hits the pirate ship, the two are thrown into the sea and washed up on the shore of a solitary island in the southern ocean. To their surprise, this island is the one they have been looking for… The manga that made Tezuka famous. It is an action-adventure drama inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's book. This is the redone version for the Tezuka 400 Complete Works. When time came to collect NTI for the Complete Works, Tezuka had promised that *All* of his works would get collected, but the original version was presumed lost. Tezuka, wishing to keep on his promise, decided to redraw the entire manga from memory. The version restored characters previously cut (like Peter Pan). The original ending was also restored, making this the definitive version of *New Treasure Island*. Among other alterations, this 1984 version is a 4Koma manga whereas the original was a mix of 2/3Koma. --- **Volume 281 of the Osamu Tezuka Complete Works**

Apple Paradise

An extremely rare SF work that was never collected after serialization in Volumes 2-8 of Manga Kisou Tengai (マンガ奇想天外) in 1980-81. The manga would get collected in the Otomo Complete Works with its own volume. From amazon.jp: This is a collection of works created by Katsuhiro Otomo between 1980 and 1981, when he was 26-27 years old. The collection includes the title work, which was serialized across six chapters in the quarterly magazine “Manga Kisotengai” published by Kisotengai-sha, as well as four short manga, a one-shot manga, and an Anthology series consisting of 12 stories. The S F work “APPLE PARADISE,” a mystery set on a huge resource-mining spaceship that is about to return to Earth from a distant planet, was never collected into tankobon form as was the case with the previous volume “G,” but now all six chapters (approx. 120 pages/unfinished) have finally been collected. The collection also includes the Wild West masterpiece “Memories of St. Bartholomew's Hill” and the complete “That's Amazing World” an anthology series based on fairy tales and literature. The short stories in the collection include two from “**SOS Greater Tokyo Exploration Team** (SOS Daitokyo Tankentai, SOS大東京探検隊)” (1996, Kodansha), first and fourth short stories from “**Her Thoughts...**(彼女の想いで…)” (1990, Kodansha), first and eighth short stories from “**Hansel and Gretel**” (1981, Sony Magazines), and one short story from ‘**GOOD WEATHER**’ (1981/Kitan-sha). The short story “I・N・R・I” was changed to the right-hand side when it was first published in a book, but in this book, it was changed back to the left-hand side as in the original manuscript and read from the end of the book, and also reprinted in nishoku as it was first published in the magazine. In addition, the short story “ELECTRIC BIRD LAND,” which appeared in black and white in the tankobon, is reproduced for the first time in its original nishoku version as it appeared in the magazine. --- - **Volume 7 of the OTOMO COMPLETE WORKS**
