Around the world, evil spirits are awakening:
''Stands,'' monstrous invisible creatures which give
their bearers incredible powers. To save his mother's
life, 17-year-old Jotaro Kujo must travel to Cairo,
Egypt, where a hundred-year-old vampire waits to destroy
his bloodline once and for all... R to L (Japanese
Style). The Claws of HorusThe magic book of Mondatta has
shown the future: ''Jotaro with a bullet through his
head!'' Can he escape his fate?! As the heroes race
against time to find Dio's secret lair, Iggi, the dog,
is the first to discover the location. But Dio's
guardian, a hawk with the power of an Egyptian god, will
kill anything...and anyone...who threatens his master.
It's the ultimate superpowered dog vs. bird battle! An
epic horror-action-adventure! Once there was a mighty
bloodline of heroes: the Joestars. In the 1880s,
Englishman Jonathan Joestar gave his life to defeat Dio,
a megalomaniacal vampire. Now, 100 years later, Dio is
back, and Jonathan's descendants must travel to Egypt to
destroy their ancestral enemy once and for all. On one
side: Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo (''JoJo'' for
short)...a globetrotting martial artist and his
delinquent Japanese-English grandson. On the other side:
a vampire and an army of murderers possessed by evil
spirits, the monstrous ''Stands.'' But Jotaro and Joseph
have ''Stands'' too...and the stage is set for a
terrifying battle as the heroes fight their way around
the world! Adapted into anime, action figures and video
games, ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' is one of the
weirdest, most influential Jump manga ever! (VIZ's
version of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' starts with
volume 13, the most popular part of the generational
storyline, skipping most of the story of Jonathan and
Joseph.) |
