Message to Adolf, Vol. 1 (Adolf (2 in 1))

Product Information

Pro mangu jsou typické kresby, které zdůrazňují emoční vypětí a často toto zobrazení sahá až někam k parodii nebo k americkým animákům. Vertical has done it well again, re-releasing this epic from Tezuka in two hardcover volumes, instead of 8 trade paperbacks.

His brother Isao is a student in Germany at this time, and Isao desperately wants to pass something on to his brother, but by the time Sohei reaches him Isao has been murdered. He then proceeds to investigate who killed his brother and why, leading him into a dangerous web of espionage during World War II. set něco stran vypadá jako hodně, ale tempo komiksu je "filmové" a já neměl problém se do toho vždy okamžitě ponořit tak, že stránky mizely pod prsty jako nic (spolu s minutami a hodinami).Z tohoto hlediska se kniha krásně doplňuje se sérií Berlín od Jasona Lutese, která časově předchází “Adolfům” a sleduje předválečný vývoj v Německu z pohledu obyčejných chudých berlíňanů. Finally, during the latter half of the series’ production, Tezuka suffered from hepatitis and was admitted to hospital. The story is set before, during, and after World War II and is centered on three men with the name Adolf.

He starts the story as an innocent young boy, living in Japan, who struggles with his identity due to his mixed German and Japanese blood.The drawings in Message to Adolf are fine and occasionally marvelously expressive; the occasional shift from pure realism -- as in a rape scene -- is particularly impressive.
