    (see more images)

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Hitoshi Iwaaki. Translated by Andrew Cunningham and Stephen Paul. Experience the immortal horror manga as it was originally meant to be read! For the first time in more than a decade, the Parasyte Paperback Collection pairs Hitoshi Iwaakis original, black-and-white art with a revised translation and updated interior and cover design. Teenager Shinichi wakes up one night to discover a creature crawling under the skin of his right arm. This is a Parasite, a creature that takes control of a persons body and turns it into a shapeshifting monstrosity hungry for human flesh. Shinichi has managed to stop his parasite with a tourniquet, and as a result, it takes over only his arm, leaving two consciousnesses sharing one body and dependent on each other to survive. As parasites take control of more and more people, rumors spread of brutal murders committed by terrible abominations—heads splitting open to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft bellies. Only Shinichi knows for sure that these rumors are all true. But can he find a way to live without destroying everyone he cares about, much less save the rest of humanity? Complete in eight volumes, Parasyte Paperback Collection features the translation, lettering, and size of the recent, acclaimed hardcover Parasyte Full Color Collection. This timeless manga inspired the global smash hit anime Parasyte -the maxim- and the live-action TV drama from the director of Train to Busan, Parasyte: The Grey. Softcover, 5 1/2-in.x 8-in., 288 pages, B&W. Older Teen (16+) Cover price $14.99.
