Gundam Novels & Comics

Here's a catalog of the many Gundam novels, comics, and other original stories. They're are grouped by publisher, and we've listed the price in yen, the page count (not including covers), and the ISBN number where available. Armed with this information, you should be able to place special orders through savvy animation dealers and Japanese bookstores.

The titles listed are for the most part translations from the Japanese (we've indicated verbatim English text by writing it in ALL CAPS), and thus may not be adequate for placing orders; ordering by ISBN number may be a safer bet. All prices listed are wholesale, and do not include sales tax.

Bandai

Bandai's Gundam-related output includes compilations of comics originally published in anthology magazines like Cyber Comix, MJ (Model Journal), and MS SAGA. Though Bandai is no longer in the publishing business, many of these comics have now been republished by MediaWorks. To reduce redundancy, we've listed only the Mediaworks editions of these books.
