Johji Manabe's manga series continues with this fifth installment of The Revenge of Gustav arc, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1997. The cover brings together a lively trio — a spiky orange-haired warrior girl in combat gear, a fierce armored beast-creature, and a wide-eyed cat-like creature in the foreground — all rendered in Manabe's energetic, expressive style. It's a fun, action-tinged snapshot of the fantastical characters that made this manga adaptation a distinctive presence on American shelves.
