Manga-Japanese comics-are now ubiquitous, but now much do you actually know about the innovators, artists, writer and publishers of some of the most beloved comics in the world? A Brief History of Manga is the only concise volume of its kind to provide a snapshot of the past 150 years of this sequential art form. Lavishly illustrated, and stuffed with facts, figures and anecdotes on key manga-from Akira to Mazinger Z - and the creators behind them, the book boasts a unique quick reference timeline running troughout, with publication dates, important historical events and the births and deaths of the biggest names in manga art.//yeni
