If you or someone you know is a fan of comic books then the chances are that you will also be a fan of Japanese anime and manga. If you know someone who is a fan then you should consider buying this beautiful boxed set of Akira. This box set is a commemorative edition for the 35th anniversary of its original publication in comic book form. The original comics were believed to be one of the most influential comic books of all time. It was an epic science fiction story that changed the face of anime and manga completely.
The box set is presented in six beautiful hardcover editions plus as an added bonus, there is the Akira Club Art Book that brings together behind the scenes information and specialist art of the genre. It was originally published in 1982 but in 1988 the story was adapted and made into an animated movie which was the most expensive animated movie of its time. The movie took the original comic that was very popular in Japan and basically made it a global phenomenon. Today it is a milestone that artists, filmmakers, writers, and fans strive to at least equal.
