Mangificent: From Astro Boy to Akira, the superstars of the manga scene Since the original TASCHEN edition of Manga Design, Japan's comic phenomenon has produced yet more captivating characters and a whole host of hot new talents. This revised and updated edition delivers the lowdown on the latest and the greatest makers and shapers of the manga scene. Through an A-Z directory, we discover the superstars--both human and fictional--of what is now a vast global industry,inspiring advertisers, filmmakers, creative professionals, millions of avid fans, not to mention an entire cosplay lifestyle, in which manga devotees in elaborate costume meet to celebrate the existence of their characters at huge conventions from Los Angeles to Leipzig. From classic maestros--like Osamu Tezuka (creator of Astro Boy) and Katsuhiro Otomo (creator of Akira)--to newcomers such as Hajime Isayama, each entry includes biographical and bibliographical information, descriptions of main characters, and of course plenty of examples of the artist's finest manga spreads and covers. About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis-- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.

My husband and I went on a mini-trip to LA last month and we found this neat book at a cute little TASCHEN bookstore at the LA Farmers Market.

I‘ve never seen or heard of TASCHEN before stumbling upon their bookstore and I‘m glad we went in to browse. They have a great collection of different books and looking through the book cover designs is akin to being in a modern art gallery!
