Cartoonist Keiji Nakazawa was seven years old and living in Hiroshima in the early days of August 1945 when the city was destroyed by an atomic bomb dropped by the U.S.A.

(W) Steve Wright (A) Banksy The witty and subversive style of graffiti artist Banksy appeals equally to street art fans and the rich and famous. Banksy's Bristol reveals Banksy's formative years and contains more than one hundred images of his art, as well as pictures of Banksy at work, many of which have never been published before. This book places Banksy in the context of the artists and musicians who were instrumental in linking Bristol to the original New York hip hop scene. Steve Wright traces Banksy's roots back to the rave culture of the Nineties and draws a rounded picture of an artist who is most famous for being anonymous.

On a remote and mysterious island, one man builds a playground of hedonistic excess. His world is filled with splendor - replete with waterfalls, grand palaces, and gardens - a grand back-drop for decadent feasts, orgies, and dark secrets. Hitomi learns of the rich man's sudden passing and creates a desperate plan. He fakes his own death, digs up and hides the other man's body, and then washes himself up starving on a beach near the home of the dead man's family. After successfully impersonating the now-dead son, Hitomi takes over all aspects of the man's life, including his company, his fortune, and eventually his wife. The failed author soon redirects the family's wealth to his own perverse aims. Set in 1920s Japan, The Strange Tale of Panorama Island follows the twisted path of failed novelist Hitomi, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the son and heir apparent of a rich industrialist family.
