Description
Shotaro Ishinomori's popular manga classic is reimagined for a new generation! Awakening in a futurist military installation with no memory of who he is or how he got there, a young man known only as Cyborg 009 has been stripped by his captors not only his freedom, but also his humanity. His body augmented by cybernetic technology, Cyborg 009 joins forces with eight other men and women, Cyborg 001-008, and set off on a journey to learn the truth of why they were turned into weapons of mass destruction, and to prevent a conflict that could very well be the start of World War III! Written by F.J. DeSanto (The Spirit, Insurgent) and Bradley Cramp (Gattaca, Lord of War) and stunningly illustrated by Marcus To (Batwing, Huntress, Red Robin) and Ian Herring (Jim Henson's Tale of Sand), Archaia and Ishimori Productions are proud to present this incredible new take on one of the most famous manga titles of all time, created by legendary artist Shotaro Ishinomori! Featuring an exclusive afterward exploring the history of Cyborg 009 and the artistic legacy of prolific manga legend Shotaro Ishinomori, this hardcover volume features a transparent cover that gives the reader a glimpse inside the Cyborg team's mechanically augmented bodies.
