Tokyo Babylon #1

The French edition of CLAMP's Tokyo Babylon arrives with this striking first volume from Tonkam, its cover dominated by a young figure in a sharp red military-style uniform, green eyes sharp beneath a matching peaked cap, holding a fan bearing a red map of Japan against a dramatic shadowed backdrop. The bold red-and-black palette and the looming silhouette behind the central figure immediately establish a mood that balances elegance with quiet menace. A confident 1996 introduction to CLAMP's vision of Tokyo — "Sauver Tokyo la Mégalopole" — this volume sets a compelling visual tone from its very first page.
