Details

Synopsis Osamu Tezuka was the godfather of the Japanese manga comic form, and his Eisner Award-winning comic series, BUDDHA, was the last epic written before his death in 1989. Now translated into English, BUDDHA tells the story of Siddhartha, from his birth into royalty until his eventual achievement of Nirvana and transformation into the Buddha. Tezuka fills the story of Buddha's spiritual journey with humorous asides, sexy interludes, and memorable peripheral characters--all combined into a highly entertaining depiction of the pursuit of enlightenment. Both the writing and the art shine with Tezuka's love of humanity, humor, and peace.
