Description
Dreamland Japan is a collection of provocative essays on Japan's very own pictorial narrative art: manga (Japanese comics). Originally published in 1996, it prefigured much modern writing on comics and remains essential reading for fans, literati, and cultural watchdogs about the state of the manga universe as its popularity explodes on the American scene.
Frederik L. Schodt lives in San Francisco and is a translator and author of numerous books about Japan, including Manga! Manga! and The Astro Boy Essays. He often served as "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka’s English interpreter.
