About this issue
Meet Guts, the Black Swordsman: a lone mercenary with a colossal blade, a cannon built into his artificial arm and a past soaked in blood. In a brutal medieval world haunted by demons and corrupt powers, he wanders from battle to battle, hunted by horrors that seem to follow his every step. Berserk, Vol. 1 launches Kentaro Miura's legendary dark fantasy saga with astonishing, richly detailed artwork, relentless action and an atmosphere of dread that has made the series a landmark of the genre. Guts is no ordinary hero. He is scarred, driven and dangerous, and the creatures of the night know exactly what he is. This first volume sets the stage for a sweeping epic of survival, vengeance and the struggle against fate. Presented in the English Dark Horse Manga edition, translated by Jason DeAngelis, with lettering and retouch by Dan Nakrosis, it is the ideal starting point for newcomers and a must-have for fans of mature dark fantasy manga. Note: this series contains graphic violence and dark themes intended for adult readers.
