Books Descriptions
Welcome to Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated
by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The
lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda,
change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in
Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop
at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that
leveled Tokyo. At the core of the agency?s motivation is a raw,
all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known
only as Akira.Katsuhiro Otomo?s stunning science fiction
masterpiece is considered by many to be the finest work of
graphic fiction ever produced, and Otomo?s brilliant animated
film version is regarded worldwide as a classic.This edition
includes a new foreword from the author and a postscript from
Dark Horse publisher Mike Richardson!
