20th Century Boys #6

This French edition of Naoki Urasawa's celebrated series collects eleven chapters — from "Le témoin" through "Une plâtrée de coups" — making it a satisfyingly dense volume for readers following the sprawling mystery at the heart of *20th Century Boys*. The table-of-contents cover, rendered in brooding dark tones with the series logo looming behind the chapter listing, gives the book an almost ominous, archival quality that suits its conspiratorial themes perfectly. At 8,99 EUR in 2003, Panini France was offering a generous chunk of one of manga's most gripping narratives in a single, well-organized package.
