Another reasonable month of acquisitions! Hopefully I can keep this up for a while longer. My wallet would certainly thank me. As would my bookshelves. (I built new ones in January and…they’re already full.) My prize in February was a nearly complete run of Fist of the North Star as released by Raijin Comics. Out of print and hard to find for a reasonable price, I was thrilled to only have to pay a bit over cover price for the set after shipping. And they are in gorgeous condition. Now, if I can only get my hands on volumes 7 and 9 without having to sell a kidney. Also particularly cool in February—I received my copy of Osamu Tezuka’s Swallowing the Earth from Digital Manga’s first successful Kickstarter campaign.
