Berserk Master Edition #1
This oversized Master Edition collects the opening chapters of Kentaro Miura's dark fantasy epic, following the lone mercenary Guts as he crosses paths with the charismatic Griffith and his Band of the Hawk. The volume introduces key figures from the God Hand—Void, Slann, Femuth, Conrad, and Jubik—alongside the enigmatic Black Knight and the mischievous elf Puck, setting the stage for a brutal tale of ambition and sacrifice. Published by Panini Deutschland in 2025, this edition presents the early story in a larger format, highlighting Miura's intricate artwork and the grim world of Midland.
"Der schwarze Ritter" marks a pivotal moment in the Berserk Master Edition, featuring a haunting flashback that deepens the bond between Guts and Femuth, set against the grim backdrop of their shared past. Written by Kentaro Miura and Holger Herman Haupt, with art and inks by Miura and lettering by Monica Rossi, this issue explores Guts’ unraveling resolve as he confronts the lingering shadow of Griffith’s return—only to see it end in tragedy, as the Graf’s final sacrifice fails and his soul is claimed. The cover by Kentaro Miura captures the moment’s grim weight, grounding the story in its emotional and supernatural stakes.
