Story and art by Katsuhiro Otomo.

Akira is a bold and breathtaking epic of potent narrative strength and astonishing illustrative skill.

Akira is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2019, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III.

The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear: a fear of someone - or something - of unthinkably monstrous power known only as...Akira!

Softcover (with Dust Jacket), 306 pages, B&W.

1st printing. By Brigitte Koyama-Richard. A dominant force in its home country since the 1970s, Japanese animation has become a global phenomenon in recent years. Far from being a contemporary invention, anime draws on the same centuries-old artistic traditions that form the basis of manga. Brigitte Koyama-Richard studies the evolution of Japanese animation through the centuries, retracing its history from painted scrolls to woodblock prints, to animated films, first in black and white, and then in color. Illustrated with over 500 images, this book bridges the gap between art history and pop culture. Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 248 pages, PC/B&W. Cover price $49.95.
