Takashi Nagasaki Bücher

PLUTO ist eine Atem beraubende, hochmoderne Neuinterpretation einer klassischen "Astro Boy"-Geschichte, sensationell adaptiert von Naoki Urasawa und Takashi Nagasaki. Ein futuristisches, preisgekröntes Spannungs-Meisterwerk für erwachsene Manga- und Comicfans - in seiner Bedeutung für das Medium steht PLUTO auf einer Stufe mit Neo-Klassikern wie AKIRA oder WATCHMEN, grafisch erinnert die Serie mitunter an Film-Meisterwerke wie BLADE RUNNER. In Japan wurde PLUTO 2005 doppelt ausgezeichnet - für den "Japan Media Arts Festival Prize For Excellence" und den "Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize Grand Prize". Das Branchenblatt PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY empfiehlt PLUTO als "Pflichtlektüre", die US-Ausgabe stand 2009 auf gleich 19 Manga-Bestenlisten. 2010 folgten bisher mehrere Nominierungen - darunter für gleich drei Eisner-Awards in den USA und den "Preis der Comicläden" in Frankreich. Band 8 präsentiert den Abschluss der Serie - in "Überlänge" auf 256 Seiten.
