DESC: Vash's evil brother Knives sends his chief lieutenant, the psychotic telepath Legato, and a band of 12 assassins--the Gung-Ho Guns--after Vash. Vash knows that, ultimately, he must confront his brother, but he is distracted by the need to protect insurance agents Meryl and Millie, who simply will not stop dogging his trail. Much is also revealed of Vash's mysterious antecedents, including the events that led colonization ships from Earth to crash on the barren planet of Gunsmoke. Translated from the Japanese and presented in its original right-to-left format, this is volume two of the manga that inspired the popular anime series.
