ブッダ [Buddha, 8 Volumes] #6

by Osamu Tezuka

Als Kapilavastie brandt en haar bewoners worden opgejaagd, ontdekt het vluchtende weeskind Ananda tot zijn verrassing dat hij niet gedood kan worden.
Dit heeft hij te danken aan de bescherming van de demon Mara, die als doel heeft hem voorgoed te laten afrekenen met haar aartsvijand: Boeddha.

About the author

Dr. Osamu Tezuka (手塚治虫) was a Japanese manga artist, animator, producer and medical doctor, although he never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. He is often credited as the "Father of Anime", and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga" and "the God of Manga."
