Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set (2017) Katsuhiro Otomo

Description: Item Condition: Books and jackets are in excellent condition. All pages are free from any tears or blemishes. Item incurred a couple of dents on the edges of the box and one of the jackets during storage--these issues are called out in the last two photos. Limited edition iron-on patch included still in its original packaging! Outer shell for the volumes closes as intended. Overall a fantastic find at a great price. Item Description: Winner of two 2018 Eisner Awards! Reprinted in an all-new, complete 35th anniversary hardcover box set of one of the most acclaimed and influential comics of all time, with the original Japanese art and right-to-left reading format for the first time! The science fiction epic that changed anime and manga forever is presented in six beautiful hardcover volumes, plus the hardcover Akira Club art book and an exclusive patch with the iconic pill design. In 1982, Kodansha published the first chapter of Akira, a dystopian saga set in Neo-Tokyo, a city recovering from thermonuclear attack where the streets have been ceded to motorcycle gangs and the rich and powerful run dangerous experiments on destructive, supernatural powers that they cannot control. In 1988, the manga was adapted into what was at the time the most expensive animated film ever made, which brought Akira's influence out of the manga world and onto the global stage. Today, it remains a touchstone for artists, writers, filmmakers, and fans, retaining all the brutal impact and narrative intensity it had when Otomo first unleashed it onto the world. • Akira Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set, Book 7, (HardCover) • Author: Kodansha Comics • ISBN: 9781632364616 • Publication Date: 2017-10-31 • Page Count: 2532
