Captain Harlock: Dimensional Voyage #7

Volume 7 of Captain Harlock: Space Pirate — Dimensional Voyage brings Leiji Matsumoto's story and Kouiti Shimaboshi's art together for another chapter in this sweeping space-pirate saga. Shimaboshi's cover art renders Harlock in brooding close-up — his great skull-emblazoned coat billowing, his faithful bird Tori perched at his shoulder — while a mysterious cloaked figure looms in the shadowy background against a pale moon and bare winter trees. The moody, atmospheric composition captures exactly the kind of defiant, melancholy grandeur that has always defined this space privateer.
