黃金神威 [Golden Kamuy] #19

Volume 19 of the beloved Golden Kamuy manga brings an arresting close-up of a sharp-eyed, tattooed warrior — pipe clenched between his teeth, an ornately engraved blade in hand, and a raised fist trailing sparks — radiating cool, coiled menace against a vivid sky. The striking Ainu-inspired patterned robe and spiral earring make him instantly recognizable to fans of this celebrated series set in the rugged wilds of Hokkaido. A superb addition to one of manga's most richly realized adventure stories.
