ABOUT

  • First manga in more than 10 years to be translated into English from the legendary creator Leiji Mastumoto (Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers)!
  • Matsumoto designed and wrote for Star Blazers, a hit on US television during the 1980s, and directed a feature-length music video for Daft Punk, among many other classic anime. Fans of Daft Punk will want to check out Emeraldas!
  • Fans of space operas and space pirates won't find a better match!
    • Two volumes. Ages 16 and up.
    Emeraldas, known throughout the galaxy as the Pirate Queen, travels through space on her heavily-armed ship, searching for a secret. Hiroshi Umino is a young boy who escaped the bounds of Earth only by building his own spaceship. He crashes on Mars, where he encounters Emeraldas, who sees a little of herself in the reckless young man.

    STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

    Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

    In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

    The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
