Assassination through space and time!
For four decades, Golgo 13 has been the world's greatest assassin for hire--sometimes to settle a private score, and sometimes to change history! His real name and nationality are unknown--but his legend is everywhere. G13 never fails a job, and never sees his clients again--unless they try to betray him!

Then, in 1978, a young priest finds he cannot forgive a killer when the victim is his own family. Hiring Golgo won't be enough, though--the man of the cloth must assist the assassin in a bizarre scheme to get Golgo's rifle past the watchful eyes of mobsters who trust neither of them! Plus, Even A Monkey Can Draw Manga's Kentaro Takekuma takes on The Golgo Controversy in FILE 13!
