The magazine's pages are printed on multicolored newsprint. Often exceeding 400 pages, the issues are distributed with a sackful of goodies (furoku) ranging from small toys to colorful note pads themed around manga serialized in the magazine. In some issues, readers can send in stamps for mail order gifts (zen-in). The manga series from the magazine are later compiled and published in book form (tankōbon) under the Ribon Mascot Comics (RMC) imprint. Ribon has also inspired multiple spin-off magazines, including Bessatsu Ribon (1966–1968);[8] Ribon Comics, renamed Junior Comics (1967–1968);[9][lower-alpha 1] Ribon Comic (1968–1971);[10][lower-alpha 2] Ribon Deluxe (1975–1978);[11] and Ribon Original (1981–2006).[12]
