It's called educating Crow and can be found right next door at Adventure's Ink. I know it's been a while but I hope you'll enjoy it.
One thing that went a long way to inspire this tale was the magnificent storytelling ability of the famous Manga artist Osamu Tezuka. I've read several of his books this past month but my favorite will likely always be his interpretation in eight beautifully illustrated volumes of the life of Gautama the Buddha.
There's a good reason he was called the Godfather of Manga and that's because he invented the genre. Most I couldn't recommend but him I definitely would. Now I have to check out the next episode of 'Black Jack', the adventures of a renegade unlicensed surgeon.
and thanks to numb who helps keep me open to alternate art :-)
I'll pop on over and read the new story. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful picture arrived in perfect condition today. I can't thank you enough. The picture online didn't do it justice! I'll post on it after I get it framed.
What a delightful story. I love the illustrations. I hope that Crow gets out of the way of elephants.

ReplyDeletethey look beautifully drawn.
sera - I think you'd love his work. I read Dororo recently too which is complete in 3 volumes and is about a young man whose father allowed 48 demons to take parts of his first son's body so he could gain power. He puts what remains of the newborn into a basket and drops it in a river where it's discovered by an old man who rebuilds the infant with ancient Japanese prosthetics. When he's grown he goes on a search for his parts.. and the demons.
