Horobi Part Two

Yoshihisa Tagami’s cyberpunk epic continues in this second seven-issue arc, published by Viz in 1990–1991. Writer Matt Thorn joins Tagami to deepen the dystopian saga of a genetically engineered assassin confronting the corrupt megacorporation that created her. Tagami’s kinetic, detailed artwork and Thorn’s taut scripting propel a story that helped define early English-language manga translation and distribution. This series stands as a key artifact of Viz’s pioneering 1990s push to bring mature Japanese comics to American readers.
