Gunka no Baltzar changed publishers last year and moved from the Seinen Comic @ Bunch by Shinchosha to Bessatsu Shounen Magazine by Kodansha. The magazine AoT ran in. Dropping it "down" to Shounen seems to be only logical at this point as it´s an ongoing manga. The split...

Arthur Conan Doyle but Future Boy Conan is the best entry on the list. Conan the Barbarian likely comes 2nd to mind. The Brian Wood comics for Dark Horse were good. Too bad about the author being a creep.
