ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF MANGA

This book spans the history of manga in all its splendour and diversity: from Hokusai's seminal Manga in 1814 to the onset of the gekiga in the 1950s, from the landmark Astro Boy of Tezuka Ozamu to Lady Oscar, Riyoko Ikedan's shojo manga aimed at young girls, from samurai sagas to the more alternative productions of the review Garo, and from the demons that populate the works of Mizuki Shigeru to the latest creations from Jiro Taniguchi, each period is covered in detail.
