Turra: Bombs and Betrayals Sneak Peak
Vectors by Janet Wade
Hey guys and gals. If you have been following the Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa graphic novel series over the years, you may have missed a little spin-off book that we published titled Turra: Gun Angel. This book was published to fill in the gaps between Jetta: ToT – Rain and (the upcoming graphic novel) Jetta: ToT – Full Circle. The book followed Turra and Cat’s story which took a different path than the main book would allow. While it was expertly illustrated by Andrew Chandler, it was only released through our sister store on Lulu.com and was never given it’s proper space to shine.
We intend to give that story it’s proper time in the sun by releasing Turra: Gun Angel – Bombs and Betrayals. This story will be a full graphic novel and will fill in the gaps completely from Rain to Full Circle. It’s currently still in production. However, here is preview art from the book by illustrators Andrew Chandler, Alex Zemke and Janet Wade.

It was Japan in 1582. Oda Nobunaga was a cruel and bloodthirsty warlord. In his efforts to unify Japan, he slaughtered thousands of innocent men, women, and children, even killing the Sohei warrior monks of the Hiei Monastery and killing the head of the Toshigawa clan. The evil Oda Nobunaga was killed by a poisoned arrow at Honno-Ji Temple, shot by Tokoshi Toshigawa. This sacred arrow has been protected through the ages as it holds the key to unlock great evil.
Fast forward to present day Japan. After years of undisturbed peace, an unknown evil threatens Honno-Ji again. Tenkai, a mysterious monk, must call on the help of a descendant of the Sohei (Shi) & the descendant of the Toshigawa (Jetta) to honor an age-old promise to protect the Arrow of Nobunaga.
