About the series
In the late 1990s, Dutch publisher Arboris brought Masamune Shirow's seminal cyberpunk saga Ghost in the Shell to European readers in a collected comic series. Spanning eight issues from 1996 to 2001, this edition translated Shirow's dense, philosophical manga about Section 9 operative Major Motoko Kusanagi and her pursuit of the elusive Puppet Master. Celebrated for its intricate blend of high-tech action and deep questions about identity and consciousness, it stands as a key entry in bringing one of the genre's most influential works to an international audience.
