Cobra #2 - Viz Select Comics

This is a physical copy of the comic book 'Cobra' issue number 2, published by Viz Select Comics. It features the work of renowned manga artist Buichi Terasawa with English adaptation by Marv Wolfman. This particular edition is likely from the early 1990s (circa 1990) during the initial English licensing of the Japanese Space Adventure Cobra series. The cover art displays vibrant, pulp-inspired science fiction illustrations including the protagonist Cobra and a female figure on a futuristic vehicle. The comic appears to be housed in a protective plastic polybag which shows significant light reflection and some surface warping. Notable physical features include the bold blue title 'COBRA', a price marking of $2.25 US at the top right, and the Viz Select logo at the top left. The condition shows some visible signs of handling, with minor spine stress lines and slight corner blunting visible through the plastic. The print quality reflects standard late 20th-century comic production with glossy cover stock and matte interior pages. No major creases, tears, or water damage are immediately apparent, though the underlying paper may show natural yellowing due to age. This issue is a key part of the first wave of manga translated for the Western market, representing a significant period of cross-cultural media exchange.
