Masamune Shirow, creator of Appleseed, Dominion, Intron Depot, and Ghost in the Shell, has built a rabid worldwide following with his unique, eclectic, and visually stunning blend of science-fiction and fantasy.
From the Publisher
Internationally-acclaimed artist Masamune Shirow was born in Japan in 1961. Little else is known about the private life of this artist, except that he enjoys reading and keeps spiders as pets. Even the name he works under is a pseudonym concocted to help conceal his true identity. Despite his efforts to remain anonymous, the world can not get enough of the hermetic but phenomenally talented artist who has published an intense array of science-fiction-themed adventures. Shirow's impressive body of work includes his multi-volumed "life's work," Appleseed; the mystical sci-fi extravaganza Dominion; his ground-breaking, world-renowned study of the evolution of man with machine, Ghost in the Shell; and dozens of other projects including his first-ever comics work, Black Magic, and the incredibly detailed guides to his art, Intron Depot and Intron Depot II: Blades. Shirow's entire library of work is available in English through Dark Horse Comics.The artist recently finished his long-anticipated sequel to Ghost in the Shell, Ghost in the Shell II: Man/Machine Interface, which will be published by Dark Horse in early 2002.
