Visually bright, as high as the feature-length film from which it comes, this Manga in two completely coloured volumes (extremely rare thing in Japan) plunges the reader in the middle of this hectic adventure.
STEAMBOY #1 and 2 Katsuhiro Otomo
Collection Art Of - Editions Gl nat - 19
History:
In 1866, in England, the young person Edward Steam, an inventor of genius, accepts a particular package of his grandfather, distinguished scientifi when he also: a black sphere which would contain a source of ultimate energy by condensing the steam in borders still never attained by the man. No sooner took he possession of the object than he is chased by a secret organisation eager to hide from him his good. And his limited partner is other than the own father of Edward!
Steamboy, taken out on screens in 2005, signed the big return to the cinema of Katsuhiro Otomo, the parent of Akira. In this history very steampunk, Otomo describes an alternative past where the steam can fulfil so much prowess as damage, with a taste for excess and chaos always so prodigious. sources: Gl nat 2010
