Kenichi Sonoda's full-throttle manga series Gunsmith Cats is picking up speed with the current ongoing series, Mister V, and Dark Horse is revisiting a recent favorite story arc this spring with the Gunsmith Cats: Kidnapped collection. GSC: Kidnapped is sordid tale of dysfunctional families and fully-functional explosives, available starting March 7 for $16.95.

At first it seemed like such an easy assignment: Rally stakes out the house of bail-jumping TV magician Mr. Smart and brings him in when he shows up. Easy, right? Well, it was easy until the magician's wife sets him up on a false kidnapping charge -- the alleged kidnapping of his own young daughter! -- with the help of her conniving lawyer lover. Things take a turn for the worse when the little girl is eventually kidnapped by real mobsters who want to use her father's unique sleight of hand in an audacious robbery. Using the little girl as leverage is bad enough, but when the criminals put an explosive collar around her neck as insurance, Rally and the girls go ballistic! It's time for a showdown, Gunsmith Cats-style, and lots of people aren't going to make it out alive!

Don't miss the March debut of the black-and-white 232-page Gunsmith Cats: Kidnapped collection.
