List of Violence Jack volumes
Violence Jack (バイオレンスジャック, Baiorensu Jakku) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Go Nagai and first serialized from July 22, 1973 to September 29, 1974 in Weekly Shōnen Magazine, published by Kodansha.[1][2][3] The second ran in Monthly Shōnen Magazine, also published by Kodansha, from January 1977 to December 1978, with a few gaps between months.[2][4][5] This two serializations of Kodansha were originally published in 7 volumes.
Five years later, the serialization continued this time in the magazine Weekly Manga Goraku, published by Nihonbungeisha, and ran from August 5, 1983 to March 23, 1990.[2][6][7] This serialization originally produced 31 volumes in total.
In November 1, 1993, three years later after the end of the previous serialization, a special tankōbon called Violence Jack: Mao Korin Hen (バイオレンスジャック 魔王降臨編, baiorensu jakku maō kōrin hen) was released by Nihonbungeisha.[2][8][9] Seven years later, in December 10, 2001 a special one-shot story, Violence Jack: Sengoku Majinden (バイオレンスジャック 戦国魔人伝, baiorensu jakku sengoku majinden), was published by Shueisha in a special edition of Weekly Young Jump, Bessatsu Young Jump #14.[2][10][11] This story has not been re-printed or compiled yet.
In May 2005 (cover date 2005-05-13·20) the magazine Weekly Comic Bunch published by Coamix, the most recent serialization started, with Shin Violence Jack (新バイオレンスジャック, shin baiorensu jakku).[2][11][12] This serialization was irregularly published, stopping in August 19, 2005 and restarting in November 2, 2007 to end in April 11, 2008 in number 17 of Weekly Comic Bunch.[12][13][14] It was compiled in tankōbon by Media Factory in 2010.
Volume list
The series has been published in tankōbon format several times. Because of the different serializations, each version is different from the previous. As such, only a few of them have the complete series (excluding Violence Jack: Sengoku Majinden and Shin Violence Jack which haven't been compiled yet).
