The Life and Death of Toyo Harada Vol 1

The Life and Death of Toyo Harada is a six-issue prestige series published by Valiant Entertainment in 2019. The series is written by Joshua Dysart and features a lineup of all-star artists – including Cafu, Mico Suayan, Kano, Butch Guice, Adam Pollina, Diego Yapur, and Doug Braithwaite.

"The series marks the return of writer Joshua Dysart, who made his indelible mark on the Valiant Universe with groundbreaking work on Harbinger, Harbinger Wars, and Imperium, as well as the re-emergence of one of Valiant’s most larger-than-life characters: the Machiavellian mastermind known as Toyo Harada!"

The series is the third Valiant series to get a Glass Cover variant for its first issue. The glass cover is illustrated by artist Doug Braithwaite.^[1] The Pre-Order Bundle features exclusive covers by Cafu in six massively expanded issues "with trade paperback-style extras and bonus content, including creator commentary, behind-the-scenes looks at the creation of the comics, process character designs and artwork, and first looks at upcoming issues – all for no extra cost!"
