NYAF Manga Giveaway: Win Black Jack Vol. 1 Hardcover

Vertical has just given manga fans an extra reason to check out the Friday evening fun at New York Anime Festival. Visit Vertical's booth at NYAF on Friday, September 26 and enter to win a coveted hardcover copy of Black Jack Volume 1 by Osamu Tezuka. Why just Friday? Because the lucky winner needs to be in the audience at Vertical's Friday night panel from 6:45 - 7:45 pm at Manga Panel Room 1A24 at the Jacob Javits Center in order to pick up their prize.

Only 1,500 copies of this hardcover edition have been printed, and they're only available from shops that have accounts with Diamond Comics Distributors. The hardcover edition also has an exclusive story that's not included in the paperback edition.

Black Jack Volume 1 is out now, with Volume 2 to follow in mid-November '08. Can't wait to read more about the adventures of manga's renegade doctor? Check out the online previews of stories from both volumes at Vertical's Black Jack homepage.
