Thought I'd share it in case someone was interested, not sure if this could be either something 'rare' or something everyone knows about. My geek cred is probably going to be hurt by this since I'm not sure what these are called its like a magazine with manga, similar to Shonen Jump I guess? The first part is magazine previews of all the new episodes/shows that are going to be airing, of course all these aired 20+ years ago. There are mangas for Turbo Ranger, Black RX and a Metal Hero who I can't recognize, and a third one of some little boy in a slapstick type thing here are some crappy pics from my iphone, I guess if there is interest I could scan them once I get a hold of a scanner.

Nice! It's an issue of Terebi-Land, which used to be one of the big kiddie magazines (that one has since stopped, though Terebi-Magazine and Terebi-Kun are still around.) Given the age, yeah, it's pretty a good find. I have a couple issues from as far back as 1979, and they ain't cheap!

If you do ever decide to scan any of of it, I'd love to see any of the comics or the color pages about RX. The old magazines had some pretty awesome stuff.

It was about $1, it was the only tokusatsu one they had, I bought some other similar gaming ones from 80s/90s which include some awesome mini manga of kirby and mario I had never seen online before. They had more gaming ones but I didn't buy them right away since I was unsure how much "paper" I wanted to take back with me and it was already heavy what I had, when I came back they were all gone sadly. I also fell in love with a japanese pro-wrestler at that same event, thought you guys would want to know.

I'll definitely scan it when I have access to one, and sorry for the big pics stretching the thread..

can you upload them in upright fashion, and at least small scales? I can't read them all!
