Product Overview
Chicago in the 1990s--a city of crime that means good business for two young women: bounty hunter partners Rally and Minnie-May, the Gunsmith Cats! Fans will love this crime manga classic from the '90s from the character designer of Bubblegum Crisis, printed in an over-sized format and high-quality paper. Rally Vincent runs Gunsmith Cats--a gun shop in Illinois with her partner, demolitions expert and former call girl Minnie-May Hopkins. But Rally's "real" job doesn't pay the bills, her hobby does. And her hobby is bounty hunting: bringing the most wanted men and women in the Chicago area to justice--dressed in her sharp suit and tie, and driving her Shelby Cobra GT 500! But Rally and Minnie-May have their work cut out for them in Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 1, with corrupt lawyers and cops, fetish-fueled hitmen, and crazed cocaine kingpins bringing the copters, the big rigs, and even the anti-tank guns onto the streets and the freeways of Chicagoland in a windshield whirlwind of double-crosses, car chases, and shootouts! Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 1 introduces supporting characters including bespectacled info broker Becky Farrah, master thief Misty Brown, Chicago detective Roy Coleman, and the infamous transporter "Roadbuster" Bean Bandit--unstoppable either in his Corvette LS-7 or in hand-to-hand combat! Contains: Gunsmith Cats Volume 1: Bonnie & Clyde (1996)Gunsmith Cats Volume 2: Misfire (1997)Gunsmith Cats Volume 3: The Return of Gray (1998)The Gunsmith Cats Omnibus is using the 2000s unflopped version of the manga, so that it reads in the original Japanese style. For mature audiences. "...[Sonoda's] work on series such as Bubblegum Crisis and Gall Force helped define the look of 1980s anime. His first major manga, Gunsmith Cats, proved that Sonoda is a talented writer as well.
