Weekly Shonen Jump 1986 #1-2 ⭐ BGS 7.0 ⭐ 1st Apperance Saint Seiya For Sale

Weekly Shonen Jump #1-2 — January 1, 1986 — Shueisha — BGS 7.0, Off-White Pages

This is the New Year combined issue #1-2 of Weekly Shonen Jump, dated January 1, 1986 — the historic debut issue of Saint Seiya (Knights of the Zodiac) by Masami Kurumada.

Why this issue matters:

First appearance of Seiya, Marin, Shaina, and Aiolia — as confirmed on the Beckett grading label. This is Chapter 1, \"The Saints of Athena,\" which introduces Pegasus Seiya and launches the entire Saint Seiya franchise that would go on to global anime, manga, and merchandise success for decades.

Cover art is by Masami Kurumada himself, featuring Seiya.

Weekly manga magazines from this era were treated as disposable reading material in Japan — most were discarded, not preserved, making surviving copies (especially graded, high-condition ones) genuinely scarce today.

Condition & Grading:

Professionally graded and encapsulated by Beckett (BGS) — Grade 7.0

Off-White pages

Sealed in tamper-evident hard case

Bottom line: A key-issue grail for Saint Seiya collectors and Shonen Jump completists alike — the true first printing debut of one of Japan\'s most beloved and enduring manga franchises, graded and protected for long-term preservation.
