Gungrave Archive Artbook TPB (Feb060081)

"First a hit first-person-shooter video game in Japan, Gungrave moved overseas to become an American Playstation 2 favorite as well before finally making the move to become a popular anime in both countries. Dark Horse is proud to bring America the works of Yasuhiro Nightow, and the artbook Gungrave Archives offers a new piece of the manga master's growing portfolio of works. And Nightow's additions are only a part of the wide range of materials in this special, double-size artbook set. Already available as separate, untranslated books, Archives brings them together completely translated, at a more reasonable price, in equally high-quality binding, and featuring two pull-out posters! And completely unavailable in either book-photographs of an exclusive Grave figure, custom made by famed figure modeler Takayuki Takeda! This is the only chance to see this model, as it will never see production. Also included is a short interview with Takeda about his challenges creating the exclusive custom figure. • This book will be a fantastic addition to any Nightow fan, and a great book for fans of the anime and video games. • Now a popular television anime in Japan, distributed on DVD in America by Geneon."
