Volume 5 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yuriko Nishiyama. Johnan has never been more ready to take on Tskuba, the very team that knocked them out of the finals in the first round last year. They've trained, they've hustled, they've shown tremendous teamwork. What could possibly go wrong? Well, Sawamura ran off to go confront the father that abandoned him years ago and isn't back for the game; Sherman's ankle is giving him the kind of trouble that ends basketball careers; and the surge of excitement the team felt going into the finals has soured. Thank goodness for Nate who seems to be playing the game of his life. Even Takagi, the ace of Tskuba notices the young Nate's abilities, and is thoroughly impressed. But not everyone on Tskuba is a true sportsman. Mikami may try to exploit Sherman's injury by creating a little 'accident' for the Johnan center. But will the rest of Mikami's team go along with his win-at-all-cost philosophy? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W.

NOTE: "Nishiyama's depiction of basketball as a frenzied, sweat-soaked adrenaline fest where nearly every player has some sort of secret move is both exciting and a little humorous. Rampant use of speed lines combined with instances of epic, sometimes theatrical, one-on-one confrontations really give the impression that battery acid is pumping through everyone's veins and ensures that you'll never put this manga down out of boredom." - Matt Lopez, Animerica

1st printing. By James Sturm and Rich Tommaso. Baseball Hall of Famer Leroy "Satchel" Paige changed the face of the game in a career that spanned five decades. Much has been written about this larger-than-life pitcher, but when it comes to Paige, fact does not separate easily from fiction. A tall, lanky fireballer, he was arguably the Negro League's hardest thrower, most entertaining storyteller and greatest gate attraction. Now the Center for Cartoon Studies turns a graphic novelist's eye to Paige's story. Told from the point of view of a sharecropper, this compelling narrative follows Paige from game to game as he travels throughout the segregated South. In stark prose and powerful graphics, author and artist share the story of a sports hero, role model, consummate showman, and era-defining American. Softcover, 96 pages, B&W (with Green shading).

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yudetamago. What do you do when a team of evil super-powered wrestlers from another planet threatens the health and safety of the Earth? Organize a team of good super-powered wrestlers, of course! Kid Muscle, the son of legendary wrestler King Muscle, rockets to Earth and finds an evil wrestling gang called the D.M.P. tearing the place apart. The punks of the DMP are the weirdest, nastiest, most outlandishly powerful muscle-bound freaks the galaxy has ever known. Kid Muscle's only hope: form a team that's even wilder. Lazy and cowardly, the Kid sure doesn't look like the universe's last great hope, but when something upsets him - like, say, evil - he busts out in muscles just like his old man! The only possible result is earthshaking, body-slamming, ultimate-powered action that sends our entire planet sailing over the top rope! But before they can take on the DMP, Kid Muscle and his new partners must prove their mettle by defeating the most renowned fighters in the known universe. For Kid Muscle, that means taking down the one wrestler he never wanted to face in the ring: dear old Dad! NOTE: Not available outside the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 232 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.

The Pumpinator, who can transform himself into a giant sneaker and stomp his adversaries into the mat. Sunshine, who has vowed to train the meanest, nastiest wrestlers in the universe, and his proteges, the Nightmare Twins. Welcome to wrestling, Ultimate style. When Kid Muscle and his friends agreed to take down the evil wrestling organization known as the DMP, they had no idea what they were in for. Now they're facing members of the DMP for the first time, and it's not a pretty view. If the Kid wants to walk out of the ring alive, he'll have to think fast. He'll have to bust out unthinkable new moves. And he'll have to fight dirty. Reeeeeal dirty. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 232 pages, B&W.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yudetamago. Kid Muscle, referee? Even though his teammates don't trust him any further than they can throw him (which, admittedly, is pretty far), the Kid finds himself refereeing a brutal match between Terry Kenyon, top-ranked wrestler for the side of Good, and Tyrannoclaw, who is exactly as evil as his name suggests. As for Kid Muscle's own battles, he's less interested in saving the Earth than he is in beefing up his ratings in the fan polls. But bad news waits in the wings: Checkmate, a chess-obsessed wrestler with three heads and no sense of pain. Not even the greatest wrestler in the galaxy can beat an opponent who can't be hurt. And Checkmate isn't about to fight the greatest wrestler in the galaxy: he's got his sights on Kid Muscle! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 232 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yudetamago. It was supposed to be a friendly challenge. It was supposed to be a photo op. It was supposed to be fun. But when Generation Ex, the Muscle League's newest team of superpowered wrestlers, challenged Kid Muscle and his friends for the right to protect the Earth from evil, things quickly got personal. Real personal. Now Kid Muscle is the last member of his team still fighting, and three Generation Ex wrestlers stand between him and victory. There's Jaeger, master of the bloody Red Rain of Pain. Hydrazoa, the guy with the weird water powers. And the brutal Scarface, whose real name...and real agenda... remain shrouded in mystery. If the Kid can defeat this terrible trio, he'll become the galaxy's reigning champion of Good. If not, he'll be handed a one-way ticket off the planet Earth...if Generation Ex lets him leave the ring alive! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 232 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.

Volume 7 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yudetamago. It's a good thing the evil DMP hasn't made a bid for world domination lately, because the Muscle League sure has gotten itself into a heap of trouble. The League's tournament of champions, originally intended to determine whether Earth's safety should be entrusted to Kid Muscle and his friends or the gang of eager new recruits called Generation Ex, has escalated into what can only be called a bloodbath. The last wrestlers standing: fiery German fighter Jaeger, mysterious street brawler Scarface, and poor li'l Kid Muscle, who just wants to get past the fussin' and the fightin' and go out for karaoke. Alas, it is not to be. Kid Muscle's next battle in the squared circle promises to be his most bone-cracking confrontation yet, against an opponent who takes no prisoners and pulls no punches. And the DMP, which has kept a polite silence, may be closer to the action than anyone in the Muscle League suspects. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 232 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.

Volume 8 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yudetamago. Kid Muscle's final opponent in the tournament against Generation Ex has been unmasked as an agent of the thoroughly evil DMP. And his current wrestling match has, admittedly, turned into another bone-cracking battle for the fate of the planet, with the DMP's ultimate champ on one side and poor li'l Kid Muscle on the other. But that's all in a day's work for the Muscle League's reluctant hero. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 224 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.
