Around 1988, when Origin and FCI began to roll out
Japanese versions of the Ultima games, the Japanese publisher JICC
created Japanese comic (or "manga", as they're called) adaptations
of the games. To current knowledge, three manga were created, one
each for Ultimas III, IV, and V. All are long since out of print,
but if you have a Japanese friend, you might be able to get someone
to look for one of these in one of Japan's used book or comic
stores. Of if you're very, very lucky, you might find one in an
American comic store somewhere. One person has reported finding one
of the comics at the huge Asahiya book store in Chicago. Asahiya
also has branches in several other American cities; they might be
able to help you find or order these books if you really want
them. |
