Akira

In the early 2000s, Glénat released a six-issue French comic adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark Akira saga, with the master himself handling the art alongside writer Pieter van Oudheusden. This series distills the sprawling, cyberpunk epic of psychic teens and government conspiracies in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo into a compact, visually stunning format. While not a replacement for the original manga, it stands as a notable European reimagining that brought Otomo's iconic work to a new audience.
