Ring GN (2003-2005 Dark Horse) comic books

Volume 0 - 1st printing. Based on the story by Koji Suzuki. Written by Hiroshi Takahashi. Art by Meimu. Thirty years before the setting of the American blockbuster adaptation of The Ring, Sadako Yamamura was just a young girl, thrust from society because of her dangerous and fascinating psychic powers. It's hard to imagine, but the girl who would eventually climb out of your television set and kill you with pure fear was once a very pretty and confused girl. This is the story of Sadako, before she was a dead body in the well, the story of a scary power emerging from a nervous girl. ? Ring Volume 0 is the fifth volume in the Dark Horse Ring series. ? Based on the novel series that spawned an international film sensation. ? All Dark Horse volumes of The Ring are published in the original Japanese format! ? The second American motion-picture adaptation from the Ring saga, Ring 2, opened on November 10, 2004! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 160 pages, B&W.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Based on the story by Koji Suzuki. Written by Hiroshi Takahashi. Art by Meimu. Creepy! Have you seen the movie yet? I don't want to spoil it, but it's creepy, dramatic, somehow a little funny, and intense. The Ring, a Japanese multi-media frenzy based on the best-selling horror novels by Koji Suzuki, has already made its way to America in both a Western adaptation of the film, and an equally popular dubbed Japanese version. Now from Dark Horse Comics comes the equally fantastic manga, and it will be published, respectfully, in the increasingly popular "non-Western" format, meaning you get a kick out of reading from the back of the book to the front. For those of you who love your media in comic book form, you'll love seeing this creepy tidbit panel to panel, and for those who love film, step forward and find out why filmmakers idolize comics. The pacing and art throughout the book are so loyal and work so well with the story, you will be overwhelmed and frozen in place in a closet somewhere. Creeeepy! * Dark Horse brings an English translation of The Ring to the US for the very first time! * The Dark Horse version of The Ring will be published in the original Japanese format! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 304 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $14.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Based on the story by Koji Suzuki. Written by Hiroshi Takahashi. Art by Meimu. The fabulously creepy story of The Ring takes a side step from the plot of the original Japanese film, taking the reader into life after all that tragedy and mystery. And guess what? Sadako, the psychic killer, isn't so easily disposed of. Beautifully illustrated by the adept Meimu, The Ring Vol. 2 takes the reader into the life of Mai Takano, after her beloved Professor Ryuji is killed by Sadako. Adding to the sci-fi element, both Mai and little Yoichi, son of Ryuji and Reiko, have developed psychic powers and are often haunted by the powerful Sadako. This thick volume of material presents sci-fi action and horror reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's Poltergeist. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W.
