Volume 8 - 1st printing. Story and art by Boichi. Translated by Mark Streer. From the renowed artist Boichi comes a gorgeous and shocking hard-boiled sci-fi classic! Nothing can change Mai's feelings for Origin-not even the revelation that he's a robot. After a narrow escape from a deadly foe, they go on the run together, Origin pledging to protect Mai no matter the cost. But even in the snowy reaches of Hokkaido, their pursuers are hot on their trail! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W. Older Teen (16+) Cover price $12.95.

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "1945, May-September 1955, and September 1957!" Collects Front Page Comic Book (1945), Prize Mystery (1955) #1-3, and Man in Black (1957 Harvey) #1. Cover by Bob Fujitani (credited as B. Fuje). Featuring Stories by Bob Fujitani, Joe Kubert, George Roussos, Lou Ferstadt, Eugene E. Hughes, Sal Trapani, and Bob Powell. More horror and suspense for Classic Horror Comics Volume 8! Starting with this little gem-Front Page Comic Book is a Pre-Code anthology from Harvey that contains the origin and first appearance of the Man in Black. This was the only issue of the series. Prize Mystery added a cash incentive for the lucky 1950s reader if they could solve a two-page mystery involving murder. Ironically, solutions to the prize mysteries were to be announced in the issue #4... but, alas it never happened. Man in Black, the faceless occult avenger, tells strange stories, sometimes intervening in person, other times merely letting ironic fate unfold. Reproduced completely from cover to cover as they should be, just like the original comic! Hardcover, 184 pages, full color. Cover price $52.99.
