Yasuhiro Nightow writes and draws action-heavy manga that mixes gunfights, science fiction, comedy and questions about violence. Trigun follows Vash the Stampede, a legendary gunman with a huge bounty who tries to avoid killing even as mercenaries and catastrophic enemies pursue him across a desert planet. Trigun Maximum expands the story's darker history, including Vash's relationship with Knives and the origins of the planet's technology. Blood Blockade Battlefront shifts to a transformed New York filled with monsters, supernatural organisations and chaotic battles. Nightow's artwork is kinetic and crowded, with slapstick frequently giving way to serious moral conflict. His work fits science-fiction manga, action manga and supernatural urban fantasy.
