Golgo 13

A 2006–2008, 13-issue series from Viz, this English-language adaptation of Takao Saito's legendary manga brings the world's greatest assassin, Duke Togo—known only as Golgo 13—to a new audience. Scripted by Carl Gustav Horn, Kenichiro Yagi, and Saito himself, with art by the master Saito, the series collects coldly precise, globe-trotting tales of espionage and contract killing that defined the long-running Japanese original. It matters as a key entry point for Western readers into one of manga's most enduring and influential action-thrillers.
