About the Trigun Deluxe Editions & The World of Vash the Stampede
These premium Trigun editions are crafted as hardcovers with high-quality 7″ x 10″ pages. They boast striking red leatherette covers, embellished with burnishing, foil-stamped lettering, and an iconic weapon image from the series. Each weighty volume includes a convenient built-in bookmark. The Trigun Deluxe Edition itself spans 704 pages, offering an ideal physical format for the manga.
Written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow, Trigun introduces readers to Vash the Stampede on a desolate alien planet. This sci-fi western narrative follows Vash, a staunch pacifist, as he tries to avoid confrontation despite a formidable $60 billion bounty on his head. While Vash possesses immense destructive power, his commitment to non-violence often results in accidental devastation, earning him the infamous title of the Humanoid Typhoon.
