Lost Comics: The Bottle

In 1978 famed mangaka Hirohiko Araki, who is known for his series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure created a one-shot called The Bottle. Before he created JoJo's Bizarre Adventure his first job was The Bottle. It featured a character dressed in an old Western-style outfit. It was a crude-looking character for the time. The work was intended to compete for the 14th Tezuka Award in the first issue of the magazine, Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1978. However, as it did not win the award, and its content was never shown to the public.

Only one picture remains to the public of this comic of said character in the old west clothes. It's possible the story could have been set in the Wild West and featured cowboys. Araki had made several one-shots and characters that were Wild West-themed or cowboys themselves. However, this manga, its characters, and the overall premise of the story are unknown other than its title The Bottle. 

It's unknown if anything from this one-shot remains. It's unknown if Hirohiko Araki owns it himself, or if the company who owns Weekly Shōnen Jump does. For all we know there may be nothing left but the one picture from this manga.
