What
is Jump Gold Selection ?
Jump Gold
Selection are three art-books, completely devoted to the Saint Seiya
TV series. They were available on the French market in the late 80-ies,
and were never since reedited. It turned out that they were actually
revised editions of the Shonen Jump Weekly magazine, rather than genuine
art books. These booklets have around 130 pages each, and are consisted
more of a newsprint than the colored paper, but the contents is excellent
none the less. Most Saint Seiya fans in Europe feel frustrated knowing
about ridiculous prize these pieces have in Japan, while they're forced
to pay a little fortune on the various auctions if they want to obtain
some (which is however logical, since it's about rare and non-reedited
booklets).
I found these information on the Ludovic Gottigny's
site, where you can read official side stories and 'feel' the Jump Gold
Selection atmosphere. So if you can reed French, don't miss to visit
his

Blood Site ! ^-^

It's thanks to Stayka
and other kind people who scanned and uploaded their treasure on the
web to share it with the rest of us, that we can now admire all the
gorgeous images from these books. Here are Leo Aiolia JGS pictures,
all provided by Stayka. The rest of Jump Gold Selection scans you can
find on various locations - at Stayka's Saint
Seiya Images page, above mentioned Burning
Blood, Boadicea's Image
Gallery, French association Memorial
Saints , to mention only few of them. More links to other worthy
image-temples you can find on my Links
