Dream Fossil
Satoshi Kon is a multiple award-winning director and a former assistant to Katsuhiro Otomo. Before he went on to direct nearly half a dozen movies through the '90s and '00s, he cut his teeth as a comic artist. This collection features his first comic Toriko, the 1984 short that won that year's Chiba Tetsuya Award for the Best New Comic Artist of the Year.

Opus
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 realises the deadline he's up against is to stop a vicious serial killer before he can spill more innocent blood--not merely ink!

Written by Oshii and drawn by Kon, Seraphim is the story of a future Earth devastated by the "Angel Plague", a pandemic that induces apocalyptic visions in the afflicted, even as it ossifies their bodies into dead, seraphic forms.
