A top government official has disappeared, and superstar-for-hire sniper Yuen Shohoi may have “disappeared” him. But the investigating agents of Section 9 begin to suspect something else afoot—that the minister is in hiding, possessing secrets that others in the government are determined to make sure never see the light of day. And by tracking down the minister, are the agents simply leading the predators to the prey? Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor presents for the first time in America the “lost” Ghost in the Shell stories, created by Shirow Masamune after completing work on the original Ghost in the Shell manga and prior to his tour-de-force, Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface. This deluxe-format issue concludes “Lost Past,” the final of four Ghost in the Shell tales.
