EMERALDAS CAPTAIN HARLOCK #1 COMIC BOOK LEIJI MATSUMOTO PIRATE QUEEN ANIME SCIFI


CAPTAIN HARLOCK: EMERALDAS #1 COMIC BOOKS. PIRATE QUEEN

RARE VINTAGE MANGA COMIC BOOKS.

Fantastic comic book series featuring CAPTAIN HARLOCK! Published by Eternity Comics in 1990.

Captain Harlock is an American interpretation of Leiji Matsumoto’s classic anime hero. Harlock is an ex-starship commander who refuses to lay down his arms when Earth surrenders to an alien invasion fleet.

The character of Emeraldas is taken from the manga series, Captain Harlock. Emeraldas is the leader of a band of rebels who refuse to give up their freedom to the tyrannical Illumidas Empire. The Illumidas are warmongers who have control of most of the known galaxy. Emeraldas fights a never-ending battle against what seem to be impossible odds. Still, this strong leader fights with a will which instills hope in her followers.

As this series begins, Emeraldas finds herself mixed-up in an adventure involving Miantir, daughter of the leader of Eden, a land that is blessedly capable of supporting plant life. Miantir and her father do not get along because she is in love with a man named Jude, a visionary who believes that peace is possible. Emeraldas ends up fighting both of these men’s battles against the Illumidas.

These comic books were never available to the mass market and were only sold in comic book specialty shops.

Created by Japanese animator Leiji Matsumoto, Space pirate Captain Harlock and the crew of the Arcadia debuted in American comics in 1989, setting sales records at the time for a black-and-white comic.

CAPTAIN HARLOCK 4 COMIC BOOKS LEIJI MATSUMOTO EMERALDAS MACHINE PEOPLE COMPLETE!





CAPTAIN HARLOCK 4 COMIC BOOKS. MACHINE PEOPLE
#1, #2, #3 and #4. Complete.

RARE VINTAGE MANGA COMIC BOOKS.

Fantastic comic book series featuring CAPTAIN HARLOCK! Published by Eternity Comics in 1989.

Captain Harlock is an American interpretation of Leiji Matsumoto’s classic anime hero. Harlock is an ex-starship commander who refuses to lay down his arms when Earth surrenders to an alien invasion fleet. The first series concerns Harlock’s past associations and current attempts to liberate Earth from the Illumidas occupation force, and re-instill a sense of worth in the physically and spiritually defeated human population.

A major theme resonating through the entirety of the canon is that as long as the Tree of Freedom has strong roots, no matter how far they spread, liberty will bloom again.

The supporting cast includes Emeraldas the pirate Queen, who becomes embroiled in the war against the Illumidas, Baron Darghund, Harlock’s boyhood friend and rival, and Alexander Nevich, finishing construction of the Deathshadow, a ship that will obliterate Harlock’s Arcadia.

At what point does the price of victory become too high, the cost of freedom too much bear?
