Berserk#1BGS 4.5 1st Printing English Manga

Berserk is Kentaro Miura's dark fantasy epic, serialized in Hakusensha's Young Animal and licensed into English by Dark Horse Comics, whose Volume 1 first printing arrived in 2003. It is the volume that introduces Guts and the Black Swordsman arc, and it remains the most collected book in the English run, with interest sharpened by Miura's death in 2021.

Beckett graded this copy 4.5 with off white to white pages, certificate 26-06E6699-002. The notes are specific about why: a three quarter inch tear at the bottom right of the front cover, corner and edge wear across the cover, stains on the front cover, and scratches that break color. A 4.5 is a good grade on Beckett's scale, meaning a complete and readable book with clear damage, and it is the tier where collectors buy the printing rather than the presentation.
