A new edition should offer a reason to return: a different translation, new artwork, restored text, useful context, or a considered collection. An ordinary format change alone is not enough.
We identify the exact edition and link to its publisher. Original publication history stays separate from the 2027 release; dates, territories and artwork limitations remain visible on each guide.
