About this Collection

This volume kicks off the Tokyopop release of the dark Western-horror manga series Priest. It collects the early chapters of the story, introducing Ivan Isaacs, a renegade priest who makes a pact with a demon to hunt down the fallen angels who have escaped into the American frontier. The book sets the stage for the violent, supernatural conflict that defines the series, blending religious iconography with a gritty Wild West aesthetic.

Priest #1 (2003) kicks off with a relentless, pulse-pounding chase as a train full of the undead erupts from a high-stakes rescue attempt—Lizzie’s gang trying to free her from Federal Marshals only to unleash something far worse. Written by Jake Forbes, Hyung Min-woo, and Jessica Kim, with art by Jesse Fernley and Hyung Min-woo, and inks by both, the issue blends gritty action with a haunting origin, revealing how Priest made his fateful deal with Belial. The cover by Raymond Swanland captures the chaos in stark, striking detail.
