The Dirty Pair will be coming to U.S fans for the first time thanks to Dark Horse Books. The popular series from Japan is from Haruka Takachiho’s. His best-selling novels are animated series, with three motion pictures and graphic novels.
Charged with keeping the peace and investigating crime among the stars in the far future, the Worlds Welfare Work Association prides itself on a reputation of safety and regard for life and property. But try telling that to WWWA Agents Kei and Yuri, codename “the Lovely Angels,” who—because of their penchant for destruction—are better known as the Dirty Pair. Part female James Bond, part walking disaster, if the Dirty Pair are called in on a case one thing is certain: they’ll catch the bad guy but you may not live to tell about it!
In Volume 1, the Angels are called in to investigate the cataclysmic destruction of the Gravus Heavy Industry facility on the planet Dangool. What they find there hurls the pair into a danger-filled trek across the galaxy. Created by popular science fiction author Haruka Takachiho in 1979, the Dirty Pair are among the most beloved characters in popular anime and science fiction circles.
The Great Adventure of the Dirty Pair Volume 1 features story by Haruka Takachiho with illustrations by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. It will arrive on shelves June 13 and retail for $8.95.
