Beskrivning
The greatest socialist sword and samurai manga of all-time gets the deluxe treatment it deserves. Edo burns to the ground sending the Japanese economy into turmoil. The gap between the land owners and the lower classes widens but crafty farmer Shosuke has some ideas. He works diligently to unite the outcasts and farmers knowing full well that the only ones benefitting from their ongoing conflicts are the wealthy. Shosuke, with the help of an eager community, reclaims land, fixes irrigation and fights to make a more prosperous way of life for everyone. In this lauded series, considered the greatest comics epic in manga history, we see Sanpei Shirato reach his full potential as he combines his love of history with real human socialist politics. The Legend of Kamui is the great historical comic that influenced all that came after. Translated by Richard Rubinger with Noriko Rubinger

Mer om författaren

Shirato Sanpei was born in Tokyo in 1932. His father, Okamoto T?ki, was an oil painter whose artistic endeavors exposed the young Sanpei to a variety of perspectives. Okamoto notably trained Kurosawa Akira before the latter became a filmmaker. After a seven-year stint as a Kamishibai artist, Shirato would begin working in the kashi-hon manga market in 1957. By 1963, he scripted an animated television series, Kaze no Fujimaru, that was Miyazaki Hayao s first project. The following year, The Legend of Kamui debuted in the pages of Garo, now best known as a launching pad for other revered manga talents like Mizuki Shigeru and Tsuge Yoshiharu.

Recensioner i media

Every scene simmers with outrage at inequality and injustice, which Shirato links to the politics of the 1960s. Publisher s Weekly, Starred review. The author s chilly and spare narration bridges the gap between present and past, balancing hints of the fantastic with a clear-eyed fatalism. NYPL s Best New Comics for Adults. Astringent comics: tough-minded, tragic, but grand. The Comics Journal
