The manga version was written by Satoshi Inoue, who worked as chief assistant under Osamu Tezuka, and began serialization in Akita Shoten's "Boukenou'' in 1966. Originally, the drama was supposed to be broadcast at the same time, but due to various circumstances, the broadcast was postponed and was not aired until 1969. In the same era, there were also hits with giant robots such as "Gigantor' and \`\`Giant Robo'', which made it extremely popular. In particular, the scene in which Bander's calm face disappears when he gets angry and is replaced by a ferocious face is a scene that is burned into the hearts of viewers. This time, it includes episodes and one-shots from the "Adventurer King" series. We hope you will enjoy to your heart's content one of the works that was responsible for the monster/special effects boom.
