I forgot to mention in that little afterword what i meant by "first serialization" and why it's impressive it started 50 years ago! It's because this 38-volume series ended when the magazine it was serialized in ended, but after that it still continued, not as a single series, but as a collection of miniseries usually 1-4 volumes each. And it's still going on now! Last I checked, there were two separate miniseries going on right now! All written by the same person these past 50 years!
