Sorcerer
Hunters It
is about a group of warriors who each have their own powers (and
level of intelligence ) and are trying to save the world from evil
sorcerers who want to destroy humanity. The art is very nice even
though the cover would make you think otherwise. The story is also
very funny and enjoyable to read. |

Manga!
Manga! : The World of Japanese Comics |
Schodt discusses in graphic detail the evolution of Japanese comics
from its roots in "irresponsible pictures" in 12th century
scrolls, to Disney inspiration in the early 1950s, and works up
to the '80s -- presenting such genres as sports, history, science
fiction, and shojo (girls) comics. This book might not be an exhaustive
coverage of the Japanese comics industry, but Schodt makes a heroic
attempt. |

Nausicaa
of the Valley of Wind, Perfect Collection, Box Set Epic
in scope and astonishingly rich in its depiction of the world it
creates (the earth polluted and turned mostly into a sterile wasteland
after the collapse of the industrial civilization, the mutant fungi
forest emitting toxic fumes, the great insects that inhabit this
alien, exotic, and strangely beautiful world, the declining humanity
struggling to survive on the fringes of the forest, the warring
kingdoms that perpetuate human foolishness, and the small and peaceful
people of the valley of wind and their leader, Nausicaa). If you
believe Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a classic, read Nausicaa. |
