ABOUT

  • A popular series that previously spawned a thirteen-volume manga, two animated films, a series of OVAs, and a video game in Japan!
  • Illustrated by the award-winning Hiromu Arakawa, the artist behind the popular title, Fullmetal Alchemist.
  • Featured in the same magazine that produced the smash-hit, Attack on Titan.
  • An illustrated version of the retelling of the Persian epic of Amir Arsalan written by famed Japanese novelist Dr. Yoshiki Tanaka.
    • Arslan is the teenaged prince of the ancient kingdom of Pars who doesn't seem to have what it takes to be a great ruler like his father, Andragoras III. A fateful encounter with a slave from the neighboring country of Lusitania leads Arslan to question the world outside of the royal capital's walls but before he can indulge his curiosity, war breaks out. Arslan is rushed off to his first war, only to see his kingdom crumble in front of his eyes. This series of events leads the young Arslan on a journey to reclaim his lost kingdom.

    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.
