Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Shin'ichi Sakamoto. Translated by Michael Gombos. Unflinching poise in the face of mortal justice-a world free of execution will be sought at the cost of further death. In this omnibus edition collecting volumes 4-6 of the original manga series, Shin'ichi Sakamoto masterfully fictionalizes the true life of Charles-Henri Sanson, the "Gentleman of Paris," who performed nearly three thousand executions in 18th century France. What has begun, must be seen to an end. Despite the sorrows of a broken heart, Charles must carry out the execution of the condemned Damiens. Swearing to fulfill his duty mercifully, fate plays a cruel hand, and within the ranks of the Sanson family, one intervenes in a shocking display. With dreams of a future of mercy and flourishing equality, Charles faces the execution of the century. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 632 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.
