Description

[Machine Translation] UFO Robo Grendizer" is the third work that Go Nagai has serialized in TV Magazine, following "Mazinger Z" and "Great Mazinger". Since the first issue was connected to the last issue of "Great Mazinger" when it was first published, we have tried to reproduce the flow of the magazine at that time as much as possible. The last issue of "Great" had 4 pages of illustrations by Shigeru Komatsuzaki when it was first published, but these illustrations are also included as they were at that time. TV Land" and "King of Adventure," two major magazines at the time, also carried the last issue of "Great" and the first issue of "Grendizer" at the same time, and it seems that this trend had been carefully planned in advance. TV Magazine's "Grendizer" begins with a monologue by Kouji Kabuto. It is clear that this was inspired by the prologue of "Mazinger Z" in the Weekly Shonen Jump series, and it served to return the story of Kouji Kabuto to its starting point. In the early part of the series, the world of the work is carefully constructed with a back-and-forth storyline, focusing on the sadness of the main character, Duke Fried, and the vileness of the Vega aliens. Incidentally, the first through the fifth issues were added to the Kodansha Comics collection when they were recorded, adding more depth to the story. This book is based on the Kodansha Comics manuscript in its completed state, so we have respected and included the additions to the story in this book. The 6th and later issues have been omitted from the book, and this is the first time that they have been included in this book. From the 9th issue, a major change has taken place in the work. The author was replaced by Masaru Okazaki instead of Go Nagai. This was due to Go Nagai's busy schedule, but he continued to actively publish his works in "TV Magazine". In addition to "Garula" (July 1976 to March 1977) and "Balber the Telecommunications Man" (April to October 1977), Nagai created a series of original heroes, including "Henchin Pokoider" (irregular serialization from June 1976 to July 1977). Okazaki, who took over the serialization, had worked as an assistant to Go Nagai in the past, so it goes without saying that he was the right person for the job. Moreover, Okazaki's penmanship, which is oriented toward girls' manga, enhances the appeal of "Grendizer. In particular, Okazaki's arrangement of the heroine Maria in the latter half of the series and Rubina in the final episode of the series are particularly appealing. The extra story that begins on p. 375, which appeared in the January 1977 extra issue of "TV Magazine," is a service story in which the Dieser team can be seen in their casual clothes. It is included at the end of the story because the magazine was a serial story. In addition, the prologue part drawn for Kodansha Comics is included on p. 405, and the new serialization announcement page for the September 1975 issue of "TV Magazine" is included on p. 416.

Description in Japanese

UFOロボ グレンダイザー 完全版 (マンガショップシリーズ) / 永井豪/著 岡崎優/著

『UFOロボ グレンダイザー』は、永井豪氏が「テレビマガジン」に連載した作品としては『マジンガーZ』『グレートマジンガー』に続いて3本目にあたる。第1回は初出時に『グレートマジンガー』の最終回と連結しているため、本書は当時の誌面の流れを極力再現することに努めた。『グレート』の最終回には初出時には小松崎茂氏によるイラストが4ページ挟み込まれているが、これらも当時の配置のまま掲載している。なお、当時の主要掲載誌である「テレビランド」と「冒険王」も同様に『グレート』最終回と『グレンダイザー』の第一回を同時に載せており、この流れはあらかじめ綿密に錬られていたようだ。「テレビマガジン」の『グレンダイザー』は兜甲児のモノローグから始まる。これが「週刊少年ジャンプ」連載の『マジンガーZ』のプロローグを意識していることは明白で、兜甲児の物語を起点に戻す役割を果たした。シリーズの初期は、主人公デューク・フリードの悲しみとベガ星人の卑劣さを全面に押し出して、前後編のストーリーを交えながら作品世界を丁寧に構築している。ちなみに第1回から第5回までは講談社コミックスの収録時に描き足しが行われており、より物語に厚みが加えられた。本書は講談社コミックスの原稿を完成状態と判断して、該当回に関しては描き足しを尊重して収録させていただいた。また、第6回以降は、これまで発売された単行本ではオミットされており、本書の初めての収録となる。第9回より作品に大きな変化が訪れた。執筆者が永井豪氏より岡崎優氏に交代したのである。これは永井豪氏が多忙となったためだが、むしろ「テレビマガジン」誌上への作品発表は積極的に続けられた。『ガルラ』(1976年7月号~1977年3月号)『電送人バルバー』(1977年4月号から10月号)に加えて、『へんちんポコイダー』(1976年6月号~1977年7月号まで不定期連載)と、次々と永井氏によるオリジナル・ヒーローが生み出されていったのである。一方、連載を引き継いだ岡崎氏は、過去に永井豪氏のアシスタントを務めた経験もあり、適任者であることは言うまでもない。しかも、少女漫画を指向する岡崎氏のペンタッチは、『グレンダイザー』の魅力をより引き立てているのだ。特にシリーズ後半のヒロイン・マリアや最終回に登場するルビーナは、岡崎氏のアレンジにより、魅力的な仕上がりを見せた。また、最終回は原案が存在しながらも、テレビには登場しなかったベガ獣クイーン=パンサーの活躍も確認できる。P375より始まる番外編は「テレビマガジン」1977年1月号増刊号に掲載された作品で、ダイザーチームの私服姿が見られるサービス編。本誌が連続ストーリーになっていた都合上、最後に収録させていただいた。その他、P405には講談社コミックス用に描き足されたプロローグ部分、P416には「テレビマガジン」1975年9月号用の新連載告知ページを再録している。
