"Fans have eaten up Johji Manabe's previous work -- he's one of the most popular creators in manga today," said Studio Proteus founder Toren Smith. "This work is pure, unadulterated Manabe, with tons of action, violence, and humor -- everything his legions of fans have been waiting for!"
Johji Manabe fans will also look forward to July, when Dark Horse will release a trade-paperback collection of issues #1-10 of Caravan Kidd #1. Manabe's Outlanders series is currently available from Dark Horse in a four-volume set of trade paperbacks.
Drakuun is an eighteen-issue epic, told in three chapters of six issues each. The first issue of the first chapter, Rise of the Dragon Princess, debuts February 12 at a retail price of $2.95.
