Fifty years ago on April 5, 1975, the world was introduced to the very first Superhero team in Tokusatsu, Himetsu Sentai Gorenger, thanks to the King of Manga, Shotaro Ishinomori. Fifty years later, Super Sentai is still going strong with the latest installment series, No.1 Sentai Gozyuger. Aside from the television series, Himetsu Sentai Gorenger was adapted into a manga that was written and illustrated by its series creator, Shotaro Ishinomori, which made its serialized debut in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shōnen Sunday Magazine from May 4, 1975, to August 17, 1975. It would be forty-five years later when Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga outside Japan for North American territories.
