    3rd Edition - Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Promethean Challenge!" Collects Appleseed: Book 1 (1988) #1-5. Story and art by Masamune Shirow. Translated by Dana Lewis and Toren Smith. World War III is over, and nomad soldier Duenan Knute and her cyborg partner Briareos struggle to survive in the abandoned cities and demilitarized zones of the post-war wasteland, the "Badside." Matters appear on the upswing, however, when they are found and brought to Olympus, an urban utopia and centerpiece for the reconstruction of civilization. Duenan and Bri join the Olympus police, a force that seems hardly necessary in such a paradise. But, like in most pretty pictures, perfection is an illusion, and Olympus's peaceful facade hides a dark secret, a violent struggle between human and cyborg that could once again plunge the world into war . . . and genocide. Shirow is well known and critically acclaimed internationally, and is responsible for numerous classic anime/manga titles, such as Appleseed, Dominion, Ghost in the Shell, Orion, and Black Magic. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 182 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $14.95.

    3rd Edition - Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Prometheus Unbound!" Collects Appleseed: Book 2 (1989) #1-5. Story and art by Masamune Shirow. Translated by Dana Lewis and Toren Smith. You can't have a perfect society without perfect people, and the only perfect people are the ones you can manufacture. The governing body of Olympus, an urban utopia created from the ashes of World War III, is about to bring paradise crashing down around their ears as they seek to regulate the minds and bodies of the human race...or fully replace them with cyborg substitutes. Deunan and Briareos, still new to the city, find themselves in the unlikely position of having to hold together this house of cards. Their strategy? Destroy the old foundation and pray everything stands while new underpinnings are forged! From the imagination of Ghost in the Shell creator Shirow Masamune comes the manga masterpiece Appleseed, an epic cyberpunk vision deftly balancing hardcore techno-science, wry political commentary, and explosive action. A visionary work that inspired the wildly popular animated film. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 192 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $14.95.

    3rd Edition - Volume 3 - 1st printing. "The Scales of Prometheus!" Collects Appleseed: Book 3 (1989) #1-5. Story and art by Masamune Shirow. Translated by Dana Lewis and Toren Smith. Life seems ideal within the utopian confines of Olympus, a shining beacon in a post-World War III wasteland, but perfection is always an illusion. Stalking the ruins of New York City is Artemis, a renegade, flesh-eating bioroid (enhanced artificial human) carrying data critical to the future of Olympus, and the elite ESWAT is sent in to tranq her and bring her back to Olympus. But when Artemis recovers during transit, the powerful combat bioroid brings down the transport ship and escapes into Olympus. ESWAT agents Deunan and Briareos are dispatched to bring in the feral Artemis, but will they emerge as heroes . . . or lunch? Shirow is well-known and critically acclaimed internationally, and is responsible for numerous classic anime/manga titles, such as Appleseed, Dominion, Ghost in the Shell, Orion, and Black Magic. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 214 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $14.95.
