ARAH manga from the 80s

There was a manga series made to promote ARAH, when it was released in Japan in the 80s.

Thanks AWOL! Love seeing stuff like this. Wonder if Tate was a Duke knockoff or more like Spike from Transformers. Any chance there's a translation?

Not that I'm aware of, though, it would appear HissTank's very own DESTRO acquired a copy ten years ago. Here's the link to the news post.

Did you ever get around to posting the rest of those pages?

Interesting.

There's some really nice artwork in that. Wish there was a full scanned copy in PDF or CBR format.

Whats up with the Vamp toy in the promotional images in the Manga. The vamp toy has 2 smiley face rollbar lights, 2 lights in front of the grill, and a CB antenna. I've never seen that variant of the toy before.

Damn, the long lost Sunbow Comic. Why didn't Marvel reprint this (but in color). It looks amazing.
