Welcome to a world where magic reigns and monsters lurk behind every corner. Into this land of deadly dragons and menacing magicians comes our heroine- Lina Inverse, a cute, fireball-throwing sorceress who steals from the wicked and gives to herself! Along with Gourry, a handsome but dumb-as-a-rock swordsman, Lina challenges the forces of not-so-goodness as she seeks truth, justice, fame, and gold! Well, mostly fame and gold... Grab your pack and join the wackiest bunch of misfits ever to embark on a quest!

Meet Lina Inverse, the fireball-throwing sorceress who steals from the rich and gives to herself. On the raod to fame, fortune, and gold, she befriends Gourry Gabriev, a handsome swordsman who is as loyal as man's best friend, but not quite as smart.

He's big. He's mean. He has the powers of a god. And it'll take more than a fireball or even Lina's devastating Dragu Slave spell to save the world from his wrath. Our heroes might be valiant, but are they good enough to defeat the Ma-ou Shabranigdo?

Disc C (Episodes 14-20, 161 minutes)
You'd think that Lina Inverse, sorcery genius and recent savior of the entire world, would get a little credit, or possibly a break. Not a chance! Instead, there's a price on her head, and a posse of bounty hunters on her tail. Once again, Lina and Gourry are on the run, scrambling to figure out who framed them, and why. Questions abound. Will the survive? Can Gourry avoid getting married to a man? And most importantly, what's for dinner?

Rezo the Red Priest has returned from the dead, and the secret to his rebirth is hidden in his labyrinthine laboratory. What Lina needs is a guide. What she gets is the biggest, surliest chicken that she's ever seen! Of course, when you put your trust in a five foot tall chicken, you can be sure trouble's not far behind.
Can Lina and her friends cheat death and save the world one more time? Most importantly, can they do it without cracking a few corny jokes along the way?

Graphic Novel/Fantasy/Manga
For all ages

Back cover text:
"It's the manga the created the popular television series and spun off a movie, with Lina Inverse and her fighter sidekick Gourry wandering around a . . . land full of dragons, wizards, and a lexicon of D&D rejects . . . lots of extremely broad pokes at the fantasy genre in general." -Manga Max

"Slayers . . . is a very funny series that combines absurd humor with a little slapstick . . . Lina is a very appealing character, full of cute attitude and self-confidence. I loved her equanimity when confronted with angry people ready to hack her into bits! . . . There are man excellent lines and moments . . Even the lettering can be funny. The art is equally playful . . . The "medieval" aspect of the world is humorously violated on occasion with anachronistic images like goggles on thugs, Playboy Bunny ears on harem women, and "Hello Kitty" on GOurry's apron in the werewolf village. Really an enjoyable book. Recommended." -D. Aviva Rothschild (author of Graphic Novels: A Bibliographic Guide to Book-Length Comics), in The Comics Get Serious

This first all-new Slayers graphic novel stars the popular characters Lina Inverse, the hot-headed sorceress, and her fighting sidekick, the loyal but sometimes hapless Goury Gabriev. In this first series of Slayers adventures, this pair of always-in-trouble wanderers gets into hot water pursuing various madcap plans to snatch fabulous treasures. The only thing that distracts them from their next get rich quick scheme is the possiblity of a gourmet meal.

When Lina and Gourry pursue the priceless Crystal Goddess statue, they try to outsmart the notorious Black Fox, only to have this dangerous outlaw fall head-over-heels in love with Lina. After escaping the Black Fox's unwanted attentions, Lina plunges them deep into a palace intrigue when they pursue the treasure of Prince Brochion, and then it's Gourry's turn to lead them into trouble when he gets kidnapped by the smitten Princess Isabella.

This Slayers graphic novel inspired the internationally popular, best-selling anime series and features delightful stories filled with side-splitting comedy that wil be new to fans of the animated episodes or a fun and frantic introduction for readers metting the Slayers for the first time.

Extra notes:
The cover says "For all ages," but be warned that there is some nudity and crude humor which may not be suitable for everyone.
