Brilliant anime director Satoshi Kon (
Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue
) died tragically young in 2010 at the age of 46. Before he became a director, he was a manga artist, and Dark Horse is honored to remember Kon with the release of
Satoshi Kon's OPUS
, an omnibus collection of a two-volume manga from 1996, created by Kon on the eve of his first film.
OPUS
contains the mastery of both realism and surrealism that would make Kon famous in
Perfect Blue
, as a manga artist becomes drawn into his own work and realizes the deadline he's up against is to stop a vicious serial killer before he can spill more innocent blood—not merely ink!
