    Volume 1 - 1st printing. By Taiyo Matsumoto. A science-fiction thriller set in a powerfully imagined multi-cultural future, No. 5 is the latest work from the acclaimed creator of the Black and White comics series, Taiyo Matsumoto. All of this is rendered in Matsumoto's characteristic arresting, surreal art style, a unique combination of European comics and Japanese pace and storytelling. The result is a comic that attacks the mind as well as the senses, and explains why Taiyo Matsumoto is currently one of the most highly regarded young comics artists in Japan. The "No. 5" in question is one of a series of super-powered global security guardians. But when No. 5 goes off on his own, the other guardians must track him down... but he won't go down without a fight! With No. 5, Matsumoto has imagined a complex geopolitical backdrop for his characters, and will keep you guessing. Softcover, 152 pages, B&W. Cover price $15.95.
