In a dump in the lawless settlement of Scrapyard, far beneath the mysterious space city of Zalem, disgraced cyber-doctor Daisuke Ido makes a strange find- the detached head of a cyborg woman who has lost all her memories. He names her Alita and equips her with a powerful new body, the Berserker. While Alita remembers no details of her former life, a moment of desperation reawakens in her nerves the legendary school of martial arts known as Panzer Kunst. In a place where there is no justice but what people make for themselves, Alita decides to become a hunter-killer, tracking down those who prey on the weak. But can she hold onto her humanity as she revels in her bloodlust?

After more than a decade out of print, the original cyberpunk action classic returns in glorious 400-page hardcover deluxe editions, featuring an all-new translation, color pages, and new cover designs!

Reviews for Battle Angel Alita Vol 1 (GN) (Deluxe Edition)

A great, kickass story. - James Cameron A story to savor, this is science fiction at its best. - Otaku USA Magazine With this oversize reissue, it's easy to really marvel at [Kishiro's] artwork... Battle Angel Alita is certainly one of the greatest (and possibly the greatest) of all sci-fi action manga series. - Anime News Network The moment my local comic store stuck a Battle Angel Alita poster in their window with a 'Now In Stock' notice, I grabbed up my copy of the first volume and it changed my life forever. - Brenden Fletcher (Batgirl, from the foreword)
