Blurb

The epic, timeless hit that inspired the legendary anime film and made the word "manga" part of the global vocabulary returns in a new hardcover edition. The AKIRA Hardcover Collection features the original right-to-left manga reading format and Katsuhiro Otomo's original, hand-drawn sound effects in a beautiful, large-sized collectible edition.

In Neo-Tokyo, the armed might of Earth is massed against the godlike powers of two psychic titans, the mute child Akira and the deranged youth Tetsuo. While Akira has unintentionally destroyed the city twice before, Tetsuo has ravaged the surface of the Moon for his sheer amusement, and his madness grows as his abilities expand. But he is gradually losing control of the limitless energies that rage within him, mutating Tetsuo into a horror beyond imagination, and as all forces converge for a final confrontation, the fate of the planet lies in the hands of mere mortals...and the mind of a child.

Biography

Katsuhiro Otomo wurde 1954 in Miyagi geboren. Schon früh begann er sich für Filme, vor allem amerikanische Produktionen, zu interessieren. Mit 19 Jahren zog er nach Tokio und veröffentlichte noch im gleichen Jahr seinen ersten Comic, "Gun Report", eine Adaption von Prosper Mérimées "Mateo Falcone".
