ふたりに「おもしろい!」と言わせる作品をかくのがぼくの目標ですが……それはいったいどんな作品なのだろうか? ――デビュー作「武装ポーカー」も愛をこめて併録!!
Gorgeous Irene (ゴージャス★アイリン, Gōjasu Airin), titled The Gorgeous Irene in the aizōban, bunkoban, and digital editions, is a compilation of one-shots from Hirohiko Araki.
This volume compiles several previous works from Hirohiko Araki dating from before the publication of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The short story collection includes: Gorgeous Irene, a two-part story about a two-faced killer for hire; B.T. "The Wicked Boy", the pilot for Araki's series about a boy's borderline-criminal escapades; Say Hi to Virginia, a science fiction story about two voyagers disarming a bomb; and Poker Under Arms, a Western story about a poker game between two wanted men. The aizōban and bunkoban editions also include Outlaw Man, a vignette about a man on the run from the law.
The tankobon edition includes artwork of Irene Rapona between short stories, while all subsequent editions instead include two full-color illustrations before the table of contents. The English titles used in the aizōban edition onward were contributed by Kazuhiko Kairiku, and the cover for the aizōban edition was designed by Mitsuru Kobayashi.
