Trigun #1
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

Action, comedy, science fiction, and western gunslinger action congregate within these pages. Created by Yasuhiro Nightow, this compound of genre-bending ingredients has turned the Trigun animation into a wildly popular series, and finally, the long-awaited manga comes to America.

Somehow the past has placed a sixty billion double dollar bounty on Vash's head, and the gunslinging pacifist can't seem to get away from money grubbing, itchy-trigger-finger citizenry. Find out why Vash is worth so much money dead! Feel the clumsy worry of the unfortunate citizens of the pulverous planet! Follow the follies of an unlikely hero in a forbidding world! Join Vash the Stampede--with his troubled past and an uncanny ability to dodge a gazillion bullets--and a cavalcade of unlucky characters on a dusty, desert planet in the distant future.

Trigun #2
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

There's a mysterious past buried in the mind of the affable, yet somehow incredibly dangerous Vash the Stampede, and everyone on this desert planet seems to know about it. Not only that, they've been trying to hunt him down for the sixty million double-dollar bounty on his head. Well, enter two insurance adjuster ladies, claiming that the man is a localized disaster, and voila! No more bounty. But that doesn't seem to end Vash's troubles, or his trail of destruction.

This is the world of Trigun. Chock full of hi-jinks, frantic action, dusty western poses, and a resounding theme: Peace and Love! Join us as Vash continues his adventures across this kooky, unfortunate landscape, seeking something to end his tragicomic journey.

Trigun Maximum #1 - Hero Returns
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

VASH THE STAMPEDE RISES AGAIN!
It's been two years since the mysterious and super-nice gunman went into hiding, and the people of his desert planet are suffering. It takes a friend in peril to bring him out, and when he does, his enemies come chasing... as well as those crazy insurance girls, Millie and Meryl. And Wolfwood the wandering priest? Well, that's who found him in the first place! The gang's all back, and trouble is coming in Trigun Maximum.

Trigun Maximum #2 - Death Blue
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

VASH THE STAMPEDE RISES AGAIN!
Vash the Stampede can't seem to escape peril since he came out of two years' hiding. Travelling across a dusty planet back to his old hometown, Vash survives a duel with a samurai on skull-skates and delivers a town from the terror of a local thug, only to arrive home to a mysterious and grim surprise. The popular manga story continues into new territory, as Trigun Maximum follows our hero's promotion of "peace and love" further into comedic conflict and daring despair with volume 2, "Death Blue."

Trigun Maximum #3 - His Life As A...
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

PUPPETS ARE PEOPLE TOO!
Vash the stampede carries a big gun, unmatched speed and skill, a seemingly unkillable body, and a rock hard motto... "Peace and Love!" But he may have met his match this time, up against two of the toughest Gung-Go Guns: the Puppetmaster and Gray the Ninelives. These are two of the most mysterious and hard-to-stop bad guys, and they won't let Vash and his reluctant buddy Wolfwood get away without measurable injury, both mental and physical. Learn more about Vash's history! Capture the crazy gunslinging action of Trigun Maximum!

Trigun Maximum #4 - Bottom of the Dark
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

THIS TIME WITH FEELING!
So, you thought since Vash and Wolfwood survived the battle with Hoppered the Gauntlet and Leonoff the Puppet Master, maybe they'd get some peace, have a little rest? You throught wrong. There are more Gung Ho Guns where those other oddballs came from, and you can bet those coming are just as strange as those who came before. Meet Midvalley the Hornfreak, a man who carries a saxophone and plays some really "killer" tunes. And then there's Zazie the Beast, a cute little fellow, but he's got something up his sleeve, or tucked into his eyelid (and it's probably got wings and multiple legs.) Sound interesting? It is. Trigun Maximum marches into more crazy battles, full of gunfire and humanity and frantic energy, a freaky mixture of pain, comedy, and mystery. Never a moment of rest for Vash the Stampede, a man whose body contains a planet-destroying gun, and whose credo is "Peace and Love!"

Trigun Maximum #5 - Break Out
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

IT'S A STANDSTILL STANDOFF!
The intensity of Trigun Maximum increases with the turn of each page in this fifth, action-packed volume, "Break Out." Vash the Stampede and his cohorts remain locked in a frenetic and terribly destructive battle with the remaining members of the Gung-Ho Guns, who are terribly resistant to defeat. The bitter fued promises to reveal secrets about both Vash and his mortal enemies. Just when you thought this series had reached its most feverish pitch, Yasuhiro Nightow turns up the heat in his wildly popular manga series, Trigun Maximum!

Trigun Maximum #6 - The Gunslinger
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

"THE POWER I GAINED WAS DEATH AT MY FINGERTIPS"
Many Gung-Ho Guns have fallen victim to defeat and therefore death, but not by the bullets of the reluctant hero, Vash the Stampede. And even if the "Guns" seem to be dwindling, that doesn't mean there's a lack of violent freaks tearing up the planet. In "The Gunslinger" Vash is running into all sorts of weirdos with guns. Enter Ynwei and Yangwei, two sides of a flipped-out coin, a dynamite duo. But Vash will find a way to shorten their fuses. All the while, Knives and his crew have something mysterious going on behind the scenes, and it doesn't look good for Vash and the people he lives to protect.

Trigun Maximum #7 - Happy Days
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

THE TRUTH REALLY HURTS!
Unlike the subtitle of this new installment of Trigun Maximum, our hero, Vash the Stampede isn't exactly experiencing the happiest of days. Rather, his struggle with his brother-in-destruction, Knives, is escalating to extreme heights. But how did Knives become so angry? Creator Yasuhiro Nightow tells us of the past, and some dark secrets are revealed. Also in this volume, you'll discover that not only is Vash not the only one of his kind, but neither is Wolfwood! Trigun Maximum promises not only past history, but future frenzy!

Trigun Maximum #8 - Silent Ruin
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

CAN VASH STOP KNIVES' MARCH OF DESTRUCTION!?
The tension in Trigun Maximum is getting to be almost unbearable! And not just the kind of tension supplied by Legato Bluesummer's freaky mind control. Knives' collection of plant brothers and sisters will cause widespread chaos and surely build his power beyond control, and the humans on the ground can do little to stop him. Not that he'll just have his way with Planet Gunsmoke! Vash is in a squeeze, for sure, but that's not enough to stop the altruistic human/alien with the superior flow!

Trigun Maximum #9 - LR
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

BOYHOOD BOND BROKEN BY BAD BLOOD!
This is the story of Nicholas Wolfwood and Livio, two boys for who friendship was brief, but still burned deep into their boyhood consciences. But those bits and pieces, though full of light, are mere shadows to these men of guns and blood and violence.

Yes, in this volume of Trigun Maximum, our hero Vash takes a bit of a rest, and he certainly deserves one. So, now we'll study a boyhood relationship, one that, in this very volume, just might come to a destructive and angry end. Though, it may be a bit tough for either one of these "friends" to knock each other off.

Trigun Maximum #10 - Wolfwood
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

THE PREACHER'S LAST STAND?
Since the day Vash spotted his decimated soul in the middle of the desert, Nicholas Wolfwood has become a favorite of fans. A man of the cloth with a tortured soul and a past full of bullets, and the protector of our story's hero, Wolfwood might just be reaching the end of his pew.

Livio, the young man Nicholas once befriended, is more than a match for Wolfwood, having been trained by the same master. And now the master and both disciples meet in a deadly face-off, and only one man will survive.

Trigun Maximum #11 - Zero Hour
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

HUMANITY APPROACHES EXTINCTION!
Humanity on a distant, sandy planet is mere days from extinction. And yet there remains a spark of hope. Vash the Humanoid Typhoon, an unlikely hero with unusual powers, might be the only one to stop his "brother," Knives from destroying humanity--though they were both born of human science! And up in space, a fleet of advanced human spaceships have finally come back to rescue their long-lost brethren. But can Knives destroy even them? These are the last days for someone. Maybe millions of someones. It's the final showdown in a fight to the death, and it might take a few ragtag hearts full of love to emerge victorious.

Trigun Maximum #12 - The Gunslinger
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

THE GUNSLINGER ASCENDS TO THE HEAVENS
With a fleet of rescue ships from Earth facing off against Knives, the humans in chaos on the ground, Livio renewing his struggle against Elendira, and Vash trying to keep everyone from getting hurt, Trigun Maximum promises a dizzying array of action. But in the midst of this multiple-front battle, Yasuhiro Nightow flashes back to the past, letting reader sin on some background information on Knives, Vash, and even Legato Bluesummers. It's a freakish, frantic battle to the finish!

Trigun Maximum #13 - Double Duel
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

THE GUNSLINGER ASCENDS TO THE HEAVENS!
The stage is set for the chaotic climax to this nonstop thrill ride! Vash the Stampede has seen a lifetime's worth of fighting, space travel, and gunplay. Now his twelve-volume trek is almost at an end. But after a savage beating, can Vash defeat his foes, keep his friends safe, and save the universe? More of the eyeball-blistering action and interstellar intrigue that you've come to expect await you in Trigun Maximum Volume 13: Double Duel!

Trigun Maximum #14 - Mind Games
DEEP SPACE PLANET FUTURE GUN ACTION!!

AND THE CURTAIN DROPS!
Fourteen volumes, almost three thousand pages, an internationally popular anime, and one of the most recognizable characters in the genre: This is the saga of Vash the Stampede. For the past decade, Trigun Maximum has pollinated the manga medium and now permeates the otaku culture worldwide. Now join us as we celebrate the amazing conclusions to this epic tale.

Running and running, Vash keeps his trademark wits and savvy fully loaded with both barrels blazing as his enemies draw nearer and his friends hang dangerously in the balance. As the sun sets on this climactic final fight, will it be happy trails for Vash or will it end in a blaze of bullet-riddled glory?

Footnotes:
I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted Trigun to be that would somewhat illustrate this show. I decided on this Experiment to represent Vash and Knives, as so clumsily pointed out by their minion. That may or may not change in time.
