Intron Depot TPB (1992-2014 Dark Horse) comic books 2001-2003

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Ballistics!" By Shirow Masamune. Dark Horse Comics is proud to present the third volume of Masamune Shirow's best-selling art book series Intron Depot. Ballistics features a treasure trove of spectacular full-color illustrations featuring high-caliber treatments. Often a sci-fi military theme is evoked, with special emphasis on detailed weaponry, but there is also a healthy batch of fantasy themes and outer space action. In addition to his traditional drawing and painting expertise, Shirow is also one of the foremost talents in computer graphics. Not only does he create exceptionally realistic backgrounds and vehicles, but in this volume presents alternate "takes" on the main image, presenting different color combinations, daytime/nightime versions and other variations on the primary theme. Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 13-in., 128 pages, full color. Cover price $49.95.
