Complete set of Graphitti's Limited Edition Akira
All volumes in Very Good / Very Good condition. Some wear & rubbing to dust jackets but colors otherwise strong & unfaded. Colored buckrum bindings are tight & clean. Texts are unmarked.
Each volume limited to 1, 500 copies, hand numbered:
Volume 1 : 953Volume 2 : 648Volume 3 : 1, 126Volume 4 : 280Volume 5 : 316
Marvel and Graphitti had a co-publishing arrangement with the printer to print the i...nteriors for the trade and the hardcover at the same time. After volume 5, Marvel had to wait several years for Otomo to finish the series. Akira #30 came out in July 1991 in America, then #31-33 came out in 1992, then #34-38 came out in 1995-1996. Marvel (and Graphitti) stopped collecting the material after #30. Instead of stepping up to the plate and paying for a small run themselves in order to complete the project, Graphitti just bailed on publishing altogether and has instead switched over to doing licenses t-shirts and such.
Will ship securely in box
