    In my mind, a big new (well, new in English – this is from 1973) Tezuka graphic novel is a major comics publishing event. I don’t think I’ve been as excited about reading a new comic in many months.

  • Lone Wolf & Cub

    This epic series is, for me, one of the greatest achievements in comics. It tells the story of Itto Ogami, who starts as the official executioner for the Shogun. The rival Yagyu clan, who had wanted that high position for themselves, attack his family and leave fake evidence to discredit him. He leaves to walk meifumado, the “road to hell”: to work as a hired assassin in an attempt to amass sufficient resources for revenge.

  • AX: Alternative Manga 1

    This 400-page collection is a selection of the best from alternative Japanese anthology AX: outsider material, a lot of it with an approach or attitude that would be unacceptable in the big mainstream publications.

  • Nana, by Ai Yazawa

    Ai Yazawa’s Nana is perhaps my favourite comic ever now. It’s about two young women, both called Nana, who move to Tokyo for a new life. I can’t think of another comic I have ever read that is so strong in every area: character, story, dialogue, drawing, layout.
