Manga Mania

Manga Mania, a six-issue series from Titan Comics published in 1997–1998, was a pioneering English-language anthology that introduced Western readers to a curated selection of Japanese manga, including Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) and Ghost in the Shell. Edited by David Elliott, it blended translated chapters with creator interviews and cultural features, serving as an early bridge between the two comic traditions. Though short-lived, its role in spotlighting seminal manga for a new audience makes it a notable footnote in the medium's global expansion.
