Description from the seller
Very dark, well inked, original page by Hiroshi Kaizuka for Zero Fighter March
Size : 25.5 x 35.8 cm | Media: pencil & ink on paper (no zip-a-tone)
Condition : very good condition
"Zero Fighter March" (ゼロ戦行進曲), published between 1967 and 1968 by Hiroshi Kaizuka, is a bold, action-charged war manga that takes readers into the heart of the Pacific skies alongside Shōichi Minami, a young and determined Zero fighter pilot.
With its intense dogfights, dramatic sacrifices, and deep sense of duty, the series captures the energy and emotion of wartime aviation like few other manga of its era.
While Zero-sen Red (1961) is praised for its realism and psychological depth, Zero Fighter March embraces a more heroic and passionate tone, turning the cockpit into a stage for courage, honor, and high-stakes drama.
Kaizuka weaves a tale that’s not just about battle, but about the unbreakable spirit of the young men who flew into history. 'Zero Fighter March' left a strong mark on 1960s readers, especially boys captivated by tales of bravery in the sky.
Today, it stands as a fascinating example of how postwar manga could reimagine Japan’s wartime past through action, emotion, and national memory, blending thrilling spectacle with a nostalgic, almost mythic sense of heroism.
