Akira in Color with Steve Oliff
...when AKIRA was first published in English by Marvel's EPIC imprint in 1988, there were only a handful of Japanese manga titles published in English. As Kodansha editor Yasumasa Shimizu mentioned at NYCC 2015, Otomo wanted to reach as many readers as possible. So with this in mind, two things were done to make AKIRA more accessible to western comics readers: the pages were flopped to read from right-to-left, and the pages were colored. The artwork was carefully flipped. and in some cases re-drawn by Otomo and his assistants, but as for the color, that was a job for award-winning comics colorist Steve Oliff.

A stunning art book filled with equally amazing illustrations, and a worthy tribute to one of the greatest comic artists of our times. My highest recommendations.
Note : There is also a Japanese edition available with a slightly different page count ( 172 as compared to this book’s 168 ), but the contents should be largely similar.
“”Otomo – A Global Tribute To The Mind Behind Akira” art book details :
– Dimensions – 10.7 x 0.9 x 12.4 inches
– Hardcover, 168 pages.
– Full color, in English language
Congratulations OC! you will be missed. I don't have one o dem pins, but if i did i would surely hoard it away in my own collectionOtomoChaser wrote:Hey everyone. Been a while since i went active.
All sorts of life fudge in the way:
Otomochaser is having an Otomokid!
Hopefully not a prematurely-aged one or anything with uncontrollable psychic talents.....but i'll take whatever i get.
Having a kid makes one consider one's priorities.
Case in point : I NEEEEED the Akira pin set from the Akira boxset about to come out. So i'm pilfering $30 and shipping from lil Kaneda/Kaori's college fund to get the important stuff sorted.
Hit me up if you'd be willing to let those beauties go. They'll be treasured forever. Thanks for looking
