Akira

A six-issue series from French publisher Glénat, this edition of Akira brought Katsuhiro Otomo’s landmark cyberpunk epic to a European audience in the early 1990s. Known for its dense, kinetic art and sprawling story of psychic power and political collapse in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo, the series is a foundational work of the manga and graphic novel medium. Its impact on Western comics and visual storytelling remains profound.
