Ghost in the Shell

Based on Masamune Shirow’s groundbreaking manga, this single-issue comic from Dark Horse adapts the core cyberpunk vision into a Western format. Published in 1995, it features Shirow’s intricate artwork and a translation by Fred Schodt and Toren Smith, bringing the story of a cybernetically enhanced counter-cyberterrorist unit to an English-speaking audience. As a key entry in the franchise’s translation history, it helped establish the series’ reputation for dense, philosophical action.
