Intron Depot 1 (イントロンデポ) is a collection of Masamune Shirow's full color works published in 1992 by Seishinsha.
It is a wide ranging collection, as one might expect from a work surveying 10 years of a professional artist’s life.
Everything from Appleseed to Orion are well represented in Intron Depot 1,[2] some pictures are reproductions of paintings, others book covers, manga pages, or drafts.
It might present some seed of inspiration for an image, critique, or ponder the functionality of a pictured object, or provide some perspective on technique, story, or history associated with the work.
One panel involves a graphic drawing of a lesbian ménage à trois, and another significant gore.
