Until 1998 no Gundam animation, and only a handful of spinoff items, had seen commercial release in the U.S. Now, in early 2000, we have a selection of videos and comics to choose from, and the model kits are starting to find their way into U.S. stores.

Gundam Books

Gundam Novels and Comics
In tandem with Bandai Entertainment's video releases, Viz Communications and Mixx Entertainment are releasing comics based on the Gundam saga. A couple of previous Gundam publications, long out of print, may still be found in used book stores or in the musty archives of comic shops.

This three-volume novelization of the original Gundam series was published in English, under Ballantine Books's Del Rey imprint, from 1990 to 1991.
