MEDIA Is there a Cowboy Bebop english manga and if so may I have a link?

I've been looking for an english Bebop manga recently and I'm frankly quite confused. I see some sets that are like ~$1k+ which is crazy, some sets are around $250 and say english but aren't, then I saw this one set for $50 that was english but it looked a little unofficial which I havent seen an official one so it couldve been official. Anyway if someone could just send me a link to an official english manga set (if there is one) that is official that would be much appreciated. Bebop is my 2nd favorite anime of all time and it means a lot to me. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Wikipedia says there are two (rather short) manga series, and both are published in English by Tokyopop.

There was also an American comic book tie-in with the live-action Netflix show, in case youre also interested in that.

so is there not a manga adaptation of the main story of the original show? from what googling I did it sounded like there was but it couldve been a fan project or something

Cowboy Bebop was created as an anime. There was no manga created before the show like some other anime.
