Collection: Area 88

One of the first attempts to bring Japanese comics to the USA. Area 88 stars a young pilot named Shin Kazama and his experiences at Area 88, a mercenary air force base. Shin goes from head of his class, dating the beautiful daughter of an airline president to a mercenary pilot bound to Area 88 by a three-year contract that he was duped into signing. Determined to earn money to buy his way out of the obligation, killing becomes second nature. Overwrought with shame, Shin begins to question whether he is still fighting for survival, or for the sheer excitement of battle.
