Akira TPB Volume 1
By: Katsuhiro Otomo
Dark Horse is committed to bringing the finest comics from around the world to America. Now, in
association with Kodansha Ltd. and Studio Proteus, Dark Horse has again gathered one of the crown
jewels of graphic fiction. Katsuhiro Otomo's stunning science-fiction masterpiece, Akira! Regarded by
many as the finest comic series ever produced, Akira is a bold and breathtaking epic of potent narrative
strength and astonishing illustrative skill. Akira is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2019, a vast
metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that
triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever
when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy
government operation, a group who will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which
leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear: a fear of someone -- or
something -- of unthinkably monstrous power known only as...Akira. And Akira is about to rise! Collected in
six massive volumes, Akira has been reproduced in its original, black-and-white majesty as
never-before-seen in an English-translated edition. If you love science fiction, manga or comics, Akira is
the one work that must be represented in your collection! 364 PGS, B&W, 6-3/4" x 9-3/4" .

Akira TPB Volume 2
By: Katsuhiro Otomo
In the year 2030, the dazzling Neo-Tokyo has risen from Tokyo's ashes, but the power that once levelled
Tokyo and sent the world to the brink of Armageddon -- a being of monstrous telekinetic power known only
as Akira -- lives on in absolute-zero frozen stasis far below the city. Those who stand guard will stop at
nothing to keep Akira from awakening, but Tetsuo, an angry young man with immense -- and rapidly
growing -- psychic abilities becomes obsessed with confronting Akira face-to-face. In time, Akira will surely
awaken, and Tetsuo may be the only being potentially capable of controlling him, but Tetsuo is becoming
increasingly unstable and violent, and a group including his former friend Kaneda sets out to destroy
Tetsuo before he can release Akira -- or before Tetsuo himself becomes so powerful that no force on
Earth can stop him! 304 PGS, B&W, 6-3/4" x 9-3/4"

Akira TPB Volume 3
By: Katsuhiro Otomo
In the 21st century, the glittering Neo-Tokyo has risen from the rubble of a Tokyo destroyed by an
apocalyptic telekinetic blast from a young boy called Akira -- the subject of a covert government experiment
gone wrong now imprisoned in frozen stasis. But Tetsuo, an angry young man with immense and rapidly
growing psychic abilities, has done the unthinkable: he has released Akira and set into motion a chain of
events that could once destroy the city and drag the world to the brink of Armageddon. Resistance agents
and an armada of government forces race against the clock to find the child with godlike powers before his
unthinkable destructive abilities are unleashed! One of the true international classics of graphic fiction and
unavailable for nearly a decade in America, Akira has once again taken America by storm, its first Dark
Horse volume selling out almost overnight in comic shops and bookstores across the country! 288 PGS,
B&W, 6-3/4" x 9-3/4"

Akira TPB Volume 4
By: Katsuhiro Otomo
Set off by the bullet of a would-be assassin, Neo-Tokyo has been leveled by Akira's godlike psychic fury.
Now cut off from the rest of world, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, with Akira its king, Tetsuo its mad prime
minister, and a growing army of fanatic acolytes. Forces on the outside still search for a way to stop Akira,
and the answer may lie in the hands of the mysterious Lady Miyako, a powerful member of Akira's psychic
brotherhood. But the solution to harnessing Akira may ultimately be more dangerous than Akira himself!

Akira TPB Volume 5
By: Katsuhiro Otomo
In the 21st century, the once-glittering Neo-Tokyo lies in ruins, leveled in minutes by the infinite power of
the child psychic giant, Akira. Now a wasteland of rubble and anarchy, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, a
ragtag group of zealots and crazies who worship and fear Akira and his mad prime minister, Tetsuo, an
angry teen with immense powers of his own -- and equally immense twisted ambitions. The planet at
large is not taking the threat lying down, however, and the might of the world is ready to take on the Empire,
but will technology's most advanced weaponry be enough to destroy Akira -- and is Tetsuo an ever greater
threat? The fifth chapter in a sweeping epic of over 2000 pages, Akira vol. 5 is the penultimate act of a
mind-blowing graphic-novel masterpiece of awe-inspiring imagination and gut-wrenching power, and the
inspiration for the classic Akira animated film. 416 PGS, B&W, 6-3/4" x 9-3/4"
