Capitaine Albator, tome 5: version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 21:13 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Capitaine Albator, tome 5** (ISBN 978-2-87129-477-1), a wanted-list barcode from the 2006-2013 site: volume 5 of 5 of Kana's French paperback edition of Leiji Matsumoto's *Space Pirate Captain Harlock*, February 2003. **Identity** confirmed by three records that print this ISBN: Open Library (CC0; Kana, 256 pages, French, paperback), a Canal BD bookshop listing (EAN13, 175x115x17 mm, 205 g, 3 Feb 2003) and Mangacollec (1 Feb 2003, 256 pages). The lookup found no catalogue conflict. Story content and the 6,85 € release price come from a La Ribambulle review dated 23 Feb 2003. The original serialization in Akita Shoten's Play Comic (1977-1979, five volumes) comes from Wikipedia. The 2013 omnibus reissue and the 2002-2003 French publication come from AnimeLand. **Stubs created:** - `company/dargaud-lombard`: legal entity per kana.fr terms, with KBO 0403.501.390 and its start date from the Belgian register. The ISBN prefix 2-87129 (978287129) comes from the Livres Hebdo directory. - `brand/kana`: the imprint, `owned_by` Dargaud-Lombard, with history from French Wikipedia. - `family/capitaine-albator`: the work across editions. **Relations:** `published_by` is sourced. `gs1_prefix_owner` is derived from the ISBN prefix listing. **Market:** FR, sourced from AnimeLand. I did not use the Canal BD shop to infer a country, because its location is not stated. **Unresolved (in research_gaps):** - Release day differs by source (1 or 3 Feb). - Weight differs by source (205 g against 9.1 oz). - No translator or printer credits. - In-print status is unknown. - No licensed cover image; the Open Library cover has no licence, so no images were posted. Nautiljon and leslibraires.ca answered 403 and are not cited. . This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Capitaine Albator, tome 5 is the fifth and last volume of Kana's French paperback edition of Leiji Matsumoto's manga Space Pirate Captain Harlock, published in February 2003.[^openlibrary][^canalbd] The original series ran in Akita Shoten's Play Comic from 1977 to 1979 and was collected in five volumes.[^harlock-wiki] In this volume Albator follows Tadashi to Tokâga, a planet enslaved by the Sylvidres, and visits Tochirô's resting place on Heavy Melder; although marked "end of the first cycle", the manga was never continued, Matsumoto carrying the story on in the 1978 anime instead.[^ribambulle] Kana is the manga imprint of the Brussels publisher Dargaud-Lombard.[^kana-cgu]
Kana published the five volumes in France in 2002 and 2003 and reissued the whole series as a single 1,088-page omnibus in December 2013, ahead of the film Capitaine Albator – Le Pirate de l'espace.[^animeland] The 2006-2013 Barcodepedia listed the same title under this ISBN.[^archive]
