Combat Comic

Combat Comic (jap. コンバットコミック, Kombatto Komikku) was a Japanese manga magazine dedicated to stories about war and the military. It was published by Nippon Shuppansha from 1984 to 2001 and was the only pure war manga magazine for a long time. It cost around 600 yen and had 225 pages. The paid circulation in the 1990s was around 100,000 copies.^[1]^[2]

According to editor-in-chief Tetsuya Kurosawa, the readership consisted mainly of weapons (technology) enthusiasts, fans of firearms, survival games or mecha. Most of them were around 20 years old, but some were significantly older and many were members of the Japanese armed forces.^[2]
