The Voltes V illustrated pocket book

“You may never see them again; you may never see Big Bert, Little Jon, Steve, Mark and Jamie Volt-in again. But you can read about them, again and again in the Voltes V Illustrated Pocket book. Over 140 pages of sheer, super robot fun involving your favorite super robot, Voltes V.
A pocket book to remember, a pocket book about your beloved team.
Voltes V illustrated pocket book…Limited editions only…”


These were the words that describes Questor International ‘s Voltes V illustrated pocket book.
The pocket book was published shortly after Marcos puts the ban on super robot animated shows.
It was a small, pocket sized comic book and the artwork maybe fair but not really for Voltes V.
The Voltes V images are not “manga-nized”; compared to the works of current, so-called Filipino manga artists (Who’re undoubtedly being influenced by later Japanese T.V. animations.)
But as one could study the artworks carefully, one could see the “attempt” of the artists to imitate the style which the subject was regularly recognized. Further close examination also reveal these Filipino artist’s hands being accustomed to U.S. type superhero illustrations.
I consider the Voltes V illustrated pocket book to be a worth while collector’s item, for one could see the Filipino artist’s first endeavor into Japanese manga.
