Manga Pro Superstar Workshop, BookHow to Create and Sell Comics and Graphic Novels

Comment:

Probably one of the best "how to draw manga" books I've seen in English. The art tips are practical rather than just "copy what you see" and there is insight into the "Japanese" process which isn't often touched on in other titles; including, using the proper equipment. If you're interested in drawing your own manga-inspired comic books, you would do well to start with this one!

Uzumaki, Graphic NovelSpiral Into Horror

by Itō, Junji
Graphic Novel, 2013. Deluxe edition.
Laura_X's rating:
Added Oct 24, 2014

Comment:

Junji Ito's Uzumaki is a beautifully drawn manga featuring a twisted and disturbing story. Ito, a master of classic Japanese horror is someone you definitely don't want to miss! Uzumaki is a story of a town spiraling out of control. The haunting and hypnotic shape of the uzumaki (spiral) swirls madness in everything from staircases to snail shells in the cursed coast town of Kurozu-cho. Uzumaki begins episodically with seemingly disconnected stories but by the end it pulls these stories together into a mystifying ending. I'm definitely a fan of this work, and so excited about this omnibus release. [warning: you may find some scenes disturbing]

Kitaro, Graphic Novel

by Mizuki, Shigeru
Graphic Novel, 2013
Laura_X's rating:
Added Oct 24, 2014

Comment:

Shigeru Mizuki's Kitaro is one of the most famous and influential series in Japanese manga history. Why is it so important? Because, through works like Kitaro, Shigeru Mizuki is responsible for popularizing Japanese folklore, and to some extent, creating it as well. Kitaro is a compilation of short episodic stories written between 1967 and 1969. It features the hero Kitaro, who along with his father (an anthropomorphized eyeball), is the last member of the ghost tribe. He challenges legendary monsters (or yokai) and does good deeds to fight for peace between monsters and humans. As fun as the stories are (and they are really fun!), the most interesting bit of this manga to me is the visual "monster" glossary at the end of the book which explains all of the mysterious and bizarre Japanese monsters Mizuki draws. Fascinating!
