"While Oldboy is best known as the 2003 crime drama from Korean director Park Chan-wook (and the lesser-known 2013 Hollywood version directed by Spike Lee and starring Josh Brolin), the movie was actually adapted from a 1990s manga series of the same name written by Garon Tsuchiya and illustrated by Nobuaki Minegishi. If you're interested in checking out the cult-classic manga, it's getting a two-volume Deluxe Edition reprinting from Dark Horse Books in 2026."
"For more deluxe manga, you'll find that you're spoiled for choice these days. Dark Horse has been reprinting several popular manga series in a deluxe edition format, and they all share features like oversized page formats, higher-quality materials, and covers that make them feel like deluxe tomes. You can't go wrong with the dark fantasy of the Berserk series, and Vinland Saga is a thought-provoking saga about revenge and redemption that'll make you ponder the destructive cycle of violence."
Oldboy originated as a 1990s manga by Garon Tsuchiya and illustrator Nobuaki Minegishi. Dark Horse Books will reprint the manga as a two-volume Deluxe Edition in 2026. Each volume will cost $70; Book One releases January 26, 2026, and Book Two releases March 24, 2026, with preorders available on Amazon. The story follows Shinichi Goto, who was kidnapped and held alone in a mysterious prison for ten years, then released and driven to investigate and pursue revenge. Dark Horse has issued deluxe reprints for other series such as Berserk, Vinland Saga, and Planetes. Recommended deluxe titles include Vagabond and Hellsing.
