Duel Masters #1

A young duelist stands front and center, confidently holding up a glowing Duel Masters card while a fearsome, looming creature dominates the fiery background behind him — it's an immediate declaration of high-stakes card-battle energy. Published in 2006 by Van Gennep as part of Tokyopop's Cine-Manga line, this Dutch-language edition announces Naar de Battlezone ("To the Battlezone") with the rallying cry "Laat het spel beginnen!!" — "Let the game begin!!" Cover art by Shigenobu Matsumoto sets the scene with bold, vibrant linework that captures both the excitement of the duel and the raw power of the creatures at stake.
