The legendary Shonen Jump series, now available in English for the first time, in a deluxe edition featuring color pages and newly drawn cover art! JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a groundbreaking manga famous for its outlandish characters, wild humor and frenetic battles. A multigenerational tale of the heroic Joestar family and their never-ending battle against evil! Young Jonathan Joestar’s life is forever changed when he meets his new adopted brother, Dio. For some reason, Dio has a smoldering grudge against him and derives pleasure from seeing him suffer. But every man has his limits, as Dio finds out. This is the beginning of a long and hateful relationship! Review: Great Read - Good hard cover. Great graphics and a good read. Review: An excellent start to a Bizarre Adventure EDITED - 2017 - I'm probably one of the few people not introduced to Jojo via Stardust Crusaders, and coming into Phantom Blood cold is probably for the best, as I hear by the time JoJo's third iteration rolls around thing are rather a bit different. What's here though, in volume 1 of Jojo is the start of something really interesting, albeit not quite to the meat and potatoes of the matter. In fact it ends at a really awkward place, it really should have gone one chapter (or two) more. But overall it does a great job at setting the tone this series is going to take. Artistically the book is really interesting. Taking a page right out of Fist of the Northstar, where men are giant slabs of meat. And the violence always comes with buckets. The art is a bit rough, as it so often is for such a long running series that started in the late 80s. But that rawness is part of its charm. To see an artist evolve over decades will be this series's greatest treat. As for the rating... I'd have given it 5 stars if the desertcart Kindle version wasn't plagued with such image compression on its color pages. Major appearances of pixilated 'crush' can be seen everywhere. I don't know if this unique to desertcart's version, and if it looks better on ComiXology or directly from Viz. Or if Viz just didn't care when putting out their digital copy files. But it sure is unnecessarily ugly. Which is a terrible shame. The one thing a mostly black and white graphic novel should have is uncompressed art. EDIT 2017 - I have adjusted my rating from 4 Stars to 5 Stars. Since writing this review Viz and desertcart have provided a ComiXology version of the digital version of this book as part of the purchase of the Kindle version. Examining that version of the book I can say that my concerns with color compression have been alleviated, and can say the book looks amazing in digital HD on ComiXology. I have not checked the Kindle version for comparison, so I don't know if that version has been improved. But since I read all of my Kindle graphic novel purchases on ComiXology its irrelevant for my purposes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,699 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #90 in Fantasy Manga (Books) #103 in Shonen Manga (Books) #166 in Action & Adventure Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,897 Reviews | ## Images ![JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1--Phantom Blood, Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818fOuBHTnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read *by C***A on May 28, 2025* Good hard cover.

So slightly different) *by K***A on January 28, 2020* I really didn't know what I was getting into when I wasntold to read this series by a few friends. I'm not big big into manga, but i have a deep obsession with Junji Itos work, and the grandfather of modern manga Osamu Tezuka. I prefer it in its original language but English is. Ok. The stories in JoJo are very "western" in a good not copying. Not a foolish try hard way, or in your face way. After reading The Promised Neverland in full (amazing read) this is a nice Ito, short story -esk feel to it. [ALTHOUGH P.N.L. is not Ito] pardon poor English, I am from Japan. Viz can sometimes make not so great book covers on their hardcover books. Inhave 3 Tomie Omnibus's all spine damaged, and I bhave a strong understanding of book care and maintenance, luckily PVA worked for now. The older Museum Of Terror in EN iirc, are easier and more compact anyway, but also more sought after. I digress. The books great. Its dark but not"MW" Yuki dark (the things he does are too real, thenstory is, too good, MW May be my favorite manga/graphic novel if you can handle violence, and things I cant type due to the nature of the things Yuki does are so warped and horrifically genious. In summation, if you want quality English JoJo, its cheap for the hardcover and there is anlot of material over the years the series has been in circulation, its been and still is majorly respected in Japan. So odd to see the other countries of this world getting into it now. 7780s ## Frequently Bought Together - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1--Phantom Blood, Vol. 1 (1) - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1--Phantom Blood, Vol. 2 (2) - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1--Phantom Blood, Vol. 3 (3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/12693779-jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-1-phantom-blood-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/12693779-jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-1-phantom-blood-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
