Battle Angel Alita

Carlsen Comics' German translation of Yukito Kishiro's landmark cyberpunk saga, Battle Angel Alita ran for twelve issues between 1996 and 1998. This edition introduced a generation of readers to the unforgettable story of Alita, a discarded cyborg found in a scrapyard who rediscovers her lost martial arts abilities in a brutal, post-apocalyptic world. Kishiro's singular, kinetic artwork and emotionally resonant storytelling made this a defining series for both seinen manga and cyberpunk in Germany.
