Weekly Shonen Sunday 50th Anniversary, 50 cover pages for 50 years from 1959 all images released at once

Actually, "Weekly Shonen Magazine" and Shogakukan's "Weekly Shonen Sunday" both became the date on which March 17, 1959 was published, and today celebrated its 50th anniversary. Along with this, a major event called "Celebration Ceremony" at the Imperial Hotel "The 50th Anniversary Alumni Association - a competition and going together and walking together to 100 years" is currently being held, and I attended and interviewed it.

By the way, although Shonen Sunday was originally scheduled for May 5th, it was decided to advance the launch though knowing that the launch date of Weekly Shonen Magazine was earlier, but the magazine against Doing, repeating the battle over and over on each other, scheduled to be released on 20th as of March 10. However, even after that it became saddle to repeat the battle on a daily basis, eventually it seems that it was launched on March 17.

So, first of all, 50th anniversary of Weekly Shonen Sunday, 50 covers of 50 years from 1959 will be released all the images at once. It has become historically considerably valuable material, and it is becoming possible to feel the times by seeing in order. All 50 images are from the following.
