Volume 0 - 1st printing. Based on the story by Koji Suzuki. Written by Hiroshi Takahashi. Art by Meimu. Thirty years before the setting of the American blockbuster adaptation of The Ring, Sadako Yamamura was just a young girl, thrust from society because of her dangerous and fascinating psychic powers. It's hard to imagine, but the girl who would eventually climb out of your television set and kill you with pure fear was once a very pretty and confused girl. This is the story of Sadako, before she was a dead body in the well, the story of a scary power emerging from a nervous girl. ? Ring Volume 0 is the fifth volume in the Dark Horse Ring series. ? Based on the novel series that spawned an international film sensation. ? All Dark Horse volumes of The Ring are published in the original Japanese format! ?

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Based on the story by Koji Suzuki. Written by Hiroshi Takahashi. Art by Meimu. The fabulously creepy story of The Ring takes a side step from the plot of the original Japanese film, taking the reader into life after all that tragedy and mystery. And guess what? Sadako, the psychic killer, isn't so easily disposed of. Beautifully illustrated by the adept Meimu, The Ring Vol. 2 takes the reader into the life of Mai Takano, after her beloved Professor Ryuji is killed by Sadako. Adding to the sci-fi element, both Mai and little Yoichi, son of Ryuji and Reiko, have developed psychic powers and are often haunted by the powerful Sadako. This thick volume of material presents sci-fi action and horror reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $12.95.
