Those were pulished on ONE's personal blogs. He removed those after the publication deal.

<p>Firstly, the <i>Manga</i> isn't headcanon (Note:A lot of fan made manga does exist). It is a detailed redrawing of the <i>Webcomic</i>, with extra chapters occasionally drawn in. The <i>Webcomic</i> is way ahead and is more or less the same, word-for-word if compared to the completed chapters of the <i>manga</i>.<br><br>I personally recommend reading the <i>manga</i> first and then continuing with the <i>webcomic</i>. However, the webcomic tends to deliver its humor a lot better because of the ridiculous art style.</p>

<p>I have been reading <em>One Punch Man</em> manga for a while now, and noticed that there's apparently a webcomic on the internet too. Some people told me that the webcomic is original and the manga is headcanon, is it true?</p>

Which one is the original One Punch Man, the webcomic or the manga?

The original *One-Punch Man* webcomic was created by ONE himself, who also created *Mob Psycho 100*.

For the original webcomics, ONE did the "drawing" himself, and his drawing skills are more or less close to 10-year old kids. Later on *Weekly Young Jump* came to realise the potential of the web-novel and officially did the redraw for the series.
