(W/A) Masamune Shirow. MASAMUNE SHIROW FOR MATURE READERS On sale December 24, FC, 32pg (no ads) Roaring down the final stretch, Man-Machine Interface reaches its explosive climax as master storytelling visionary Masamune Shirow continues to tear down the walls between actual and virtual, flesh and circuit, soul and science. Taking the dizzying concepts began in the manga-anime classic Ghost in the Shell and accelerating them to critical mass, Shirow has crafted a true 21st Century epic of monumental visual complexity and staggering conceptual depth, almost as though Shirow were writing for an audience already living in the future he envisions. Breathtaking, challenging, and a little dangerous, Man-Machine Interface is a graphic-fiction masterpiece that will be read, re-read, and argued about for years to come! Translation by Frederik L. Schodt (Ghost in the Shell, Astro Boy). Special deluxe format with no interior advertising!
