Editor’s Note
Revy “Two Hand”
Revy’s two-gun style echoes the on-screen combat choreography
(sometimes called the “bullet ballet”) made famous in movies by
John Woo. In real life, using two guns like this is highly impractical
since it is virtually impossible to actually hit anything, especially if
the target and the shooter are moving, and it’s also difficult to reload.
Of course, it looks totally badass on film, and in Rei Hiroe’s stunning
action-manga Black Lagoonl
Regarding the spelling of Revy’s nom de guerre , it is indeed “Two
Hand,” not “Two Hands.” This is a reference to a character from the
hard-boiled crime novel Run, by Douglas E. Winter (which is a great
read by the way).

The Black Lagoon
The Black Lagoon is a modified 80-foot Elco PT boat. First
built for service in the U.S. Navy in World War II, the Elco PT
boats were powered by three 1500 horsepower Packard Marine
engines and could reach speeds of nearly 50 knots. PT boats
were considered expendable (along with their crews) when
used to attack more powerful warships. During WWII, they
often served as couriers, scouts, and as transport for special
reconnaissance teams inserted behind enemy lines. President
John F. Kennedy was the skipper of one of these souped-up
cabin cruisers, the famous PT-109.
In addition to the four torpedoes carried in tubes on deck, PT
boats were armed with machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and
depth charges—basically the crews bolted on whatever extra
weaponry they could scrounge up! Dutch has removed all the
original armament except the torpedoes (which get used very
effectively and imaginatively in volume 1), but who needs all
that when you’ve got Revy?!
