Space Pirate Captain Harlock

So I did say I would submit something manly and GAR to make up for the recent shonen-ai binge I'm on. Plus I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to take advantage of all the public domain high res nebula and space telescope photos off of media wiki.

So I give you Captain Harlock. He's a badass space pirate fighting to protect the earth from whatever challenges its existence. He was created back in the 70's by Leiji Matsumoto. The same fellow who did Galaxy Express 999, in which Harlock also makes a cameo.
