This manga created by Kentaro Miura, is a icon of the dark fantasy with a distinct graphic design that reflects its brutal tone. It was originally published in Japan in 1990 and later by Dark Horse Comics for North America. The artwork has heavy line work and extremely detailed, packed panels showing the style of early seinen manga. The image is heavily influenced by European Medieval art, dark fantasy films like Hellraiser (1987) and Excalibur (1981). The typography on the cover and spine is a metallic red and clean, yet ominous font that contrasts with the detailed, chaotic artwork given.
