CAPTAIN HARLOCK #1 COMIC BOOK.

Collector's Item First Issue!

RARE VINTAGE MANGA.

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