Street Fighter II: Laughing Dragon Fist (ストII4コマ笑龍拳) † The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (ゼルダの伝説 夢をみる島)
Super / Deluxe Bom Bom series are marked with an asterisk (*), and holiday specials are marked with a dagger (†). Ore-tachi Bom Bom-Dan (おれたちボンボン団) is perhaps the best resource for the magazine, listing the contents of every volume from 1991 to 2007 and most Deluxe volumes, the bibliography of the mangaka, and even remarks on the collected editions, noting which episodes are compiled and any edits that were made! Any gaps in its data I filled using Mandarake's photographs of their contents pages. Comic Bom Bom ended completely in December 2007, but was later revived in July 2017 as an online publication on Pixiv. In 2006 the magazine reformatted from A5 size to B5, and ended many series in short order to make way for new material. It only ran from July 1990 to April 1995 some series hopped to mainline Comic Bom Bom once it ended, while most were forced to suddenly wrap things up.
It even spawned original material based on Western properties, including Marvel's Spider-Man, the X-Men, and even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.Ī couple of short-lived spin-offs were also released, the first of them was Super Bom Bom (スーパーボンボン) which ran from May 1987 until July 1988, though Deluxe Bom Bom (デラックスボンボン) was more notable, a larger B5-sized book which ran exclusive manga and had an extra emphasis on 4-koma. It prominently featured tie-ins to anime, toy and video game franchises in the '90s onward, with spin-offs and adaptations of Gundam, Ultraman and other mecha/sentai series as some of its biggest draws at the time.
A monthly comic anthology by Kodansha that began in October 1981, containing over seven hundred pages of manga and promos for toys, games and hobbies, serving as a competitor to Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic.
