Strap on your sixguns and put your faith in Buckaroo, now in paperback!
Attention all Blue Blaze Irregulars: It’s time to ride again with everyone’s favorite scientist-surgeon-entertainer-daredevil as he sets off on a new hair-raising adventure in Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League, Et Al: A Compendium of Evils! As told by the Reno Kid to Buckaroo Banzai chronicler and original screenplay writer E.M. Rauch, this tale follows the Banzai Institute hero, confronting ancient “supernatural” evils in an adventure that spans entire planets and defies everyday notions of reality! First released in a hardcover edition in 2021, Dark Horse Books now offers the original prose novel in a value-priced paperback edition for those who prefer that format, featuring cover art by Julian Totino Tedesco.
Still mourning the losses of his beloved Penny Priddy and his surrogate father Professor Hikita, Buckaroo Banzai must also contend with the constant threat of attack from his immortal nemesis Hanoi Xan, ruthless leader of the World Crime League. To make matters worse, Planet 10 warrior queen John Emdall has sent her Lectroid legions against Earth with a brutal ultimatum. Or is her true target Buckaroo Banzai? As the apocalyptic threats continue to mount, only Buckaroo and his Hong Kong Cavaliers stand in the way of global destruction.
