What is this "Version" manga you tweet of? I can't seem to find anything on it. Also, can you recommend any other lesser-known manga or black-and-white boom (for lack of a better term) comics from the 80/90's? Also also, more Nura please, even if it is jus

Version was a manga by Hisashi Sakaguchi (who started out working in animation under Tezuka.) Studio Proteus put out through Dark horse comics in the 90′s

It’s a fantastic book about a woman who hires a detective to find her missing scientist father- who has created a new lifeform called EGOS! They’re pursued by a weird Illuminati boss with robot dogs and an army of men in black suits. 

The American release covers were early computer art that I don’t think did the book justice. 

 Here’s some other Hisashi Sakaguchi pages from his Shower Moonlight, that was never translated into English

Hisashi Sakaguchi Passed away on December 22, 1995 due to heart failure. He was only 49.

As far as other manga from that era that are worth tracking down. Venus wars– is fantastic. 3X3 eyes, I dunno if it’s lesser known but Gunsmith cats too.

& yeah, Nura shows up in the last chunk of Warheads– she’s too fun to draw.
