The original Trigun manga by Yasuhiro Nightow was serialized in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Shonen Captain magazine from April 1995 to June 2000 in several irregular and intermittent editions. Three tankōbon volumes were released by Tokuma Shoten and two by Shonengahosha.
This was followed by Trigun: Maximum, which was serialized in Shonengahosha's Young King Ours magazine from October 1997 to March 2007. A total of 14 tankobon volumes have been released.
Dark Horse Comics will reissue both manga series in deluxe editions later this year.
The manga inspired a previous 26-episode anime adaptation that aired in 1998 and an animated film titled Trigun: Badlands Rumble that was released in 2010. They were produced by Madhouse and directed by Satoshi Nishimura.

Crunchyroll is streaming Trigun Stampede and describes the series as follows:
Vash the Stampede is a cheerful pacifist, so why does he have a $6 million bounty on his head? That's what puzzles rookie reporter Meryl Stryfe and her jaded veteran partner, who investigate the vigilante only to find a man who hates blood. But their investigation turns out to uncover something sinister—his evil twin brother, Millions Knives.
