About the author
Kia Asamiya
437 books24 followersKia Asamiya(麻宮 騎亜, born in 1963) is the pen-name of a popular Japanese manga artist whose work spans multiple genres and appeals to diverse audiences (1990s).
He is well-known for using influences from American comics, television, and movies in his work, and describes himself as a big fan of both Batman and Star Wars. One of the most widely-published Japanese manga-ka, nearly all of his stories have been translated into other languages, including English. His two most successful and popular manga series to-date are Nadesico and Silent Möbius.
Prior to becoming a manga artist, Asamiya graduated from the Tokyo Designer School, and then worked as a character designer for a number of anime series, and even designed models for some of the later Godzilla movies (1980s). For this career, he used a different pen-name, Michitaka Kikuchi (菊地 道隆), and maintained the two professional identities separately for many years. Several of the anime series that he worked on were very popular both inside and outside of Japan, most notably including Sonic Soldier Borgman. Even after focusing primarily on his manga career, Asamiya continued to do character designs and creative consultation on anime series based on his stories, occasionally under the Kikuchi name.
In the early 2000s, Asamiya has shifted his focus from teenage and young-adult stories to stories designed for children and for an American audience. In the former case, he credits his young children as a motivation, but in the latter case, he points to a long-standing desire to work with his favorite American characters. To that end, he has worked on projects with Image Comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics, as well as developing a manga adaptation of the movie, "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace".
While many Japanese artists (and artists in general) are quite reclusive, Asamiya often makes an effort to be available to his fans. He maintains a website with news and information about his studio, Studio TRON (named after the Disney movie TRON). He also aids and assists his Official Fan Club by sending them regular announcements and limited-edition merchandise. Despite these actions, he shunned all public photography, and had the often-hilarious habit of depicting himself with a placeholder sign for a face. It has become a trademark feature of his books that instead of a picture of the artist, there is an elaborately decorated rectangle sporting the words "Now Printing".

El tomo 0 de Silent Möbius, el pasado de la verdad. No me acuerdo nada de nada.

La oscura precuela de Silent Möbius.

Precuela editada en formato más parecido al japonés que los otros tomos de la serie.

Si lo releo ahora, no sé. En su momento, me encantó. Ya estaba bastante enganchado con los tomitos de Silent Mobius (que me habían salido un peso cada uno) y hallar este otro (a 3$, creo) fue una gloria. Además, al oler las hojas se me despierta no sé qué coso en el cerebro que me transporta a aquellos agridulces veranos adolescentes en Mar del Plata en los que me compraba bocha de comics con 15 pesos y me quedaba leyéndolos hasta cualquier hora en el depto de la Zule, siempre y cuando no me enganchara viendo algo en la tele (gracias al justificadísimo cable colgado). En fin, me fui al carajo. Pero qué buenas (y horribles) épocas.

Edición española de la entonces novedosa colección manga de Norma Editorial. A diferencia de Silent Möbius, serie de la que este comic es precuela, el tomo se editó completo en formato similar al japonés en lugar de los típicos cuadernitos de 50 páginas otoñales de entonces.

Möbius Klein fue el primer tomo de Kia Asamiya en tener una edición en castellano más similar a la original japonesa.
