Over the course of his career, Osamu Tezuka adapted many of
Shakespeare’s works. Shakespeare Manga Theater collects them into
one volume. The book includes the following: * The Merchant of
Venice (1959) * Robio and Robiette (from Astro Boy, 1965) * Macbeth
(from Vampire “The Three Fortunetellers”, 1966) * Hamlet (from
Rainbow Parakeet, 1981) * The Taming of the Shrew (from Rainbow
Parakeet, 1981) * Othello (from Rainbow Parakeet, 1982) While this
may sound like a collection of manga versions of classic plays,
they would actually be better be described as quality examples of
creative adaptation and storytelling, by a master of the craft.
Shakespeare Manga Theater is sure to be popular not just with
Tezuka fans, but also schools interested in presenting Shakespeare
in a format that is easier for readers to engage with.

The second book in the classic eight volume graphic novel series
retelling the story of Buddha, from the godfather of the genre - an
irreverent and humourous rendition of the life and times of Prince
Siddhartha. In book two, The Four Encounters, Prince Siddartha -
fated to become the Buddha - is confronted by the harsh penalties
of social injustice within his own kingdom, fuelled by selfish
warlords and villains like the depraved warrior, Bandaka. The
tragic fortunes of his loved-ones, such as Tatta the rogue and
Migalia the fierce female bandit, force the Prince to choose
between love and destiny; Siddartha must forsake his heart and
begin his pilgrimage. Originated in the 1970s, Buddha is Osamu
Tezuka's unparalleled rendition of the life and times of Prince
Siddhartha. Tezuka's storytelling genius and consummate skill at
visual expression blossom fully as he contextualizes the Buddha's
ideas; with an emphasis on, action, emotion, humour and conflict as
Prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across India and
questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation and caste
oppression. Rather than recommend resignation and impassivity,
Tezuka's Buddha predicates enlightenment upon recognizing the
interconnectedness of life, having compassion for the suffering,
and ordering one's life sensibly, his approach is slightly
irreverent in that it incorporates something that Western
commentators often eschew, namely, humour.
The eighth book in the classic eight volume graphic novel series
retelling the story of Buddha, from the godfather of the genre. In
book eight, Buddha finally travels home to Kapiluvastu to teach and
inspire more followers. There, in the beautiful garden of Jetavana,
he explains the original parable of the self-immolating rabbit and
reveals the keystone of his philosophy. Originated in the 1970s,
the 'Buddha' series is Osamu Tezuka's unparalleled rendition of the
life and times of Prince Siddhartha. Tezuka's storytelling genius
and consummate skill at visual expression blossom fully as he
contextualizes the Buddha's ideas; with an emphasis on, action,
emotion, humour and conflict as Prince Siddhartha runs away from
home, travels across India and questions Hindu practices such as
ascetic self-mutilation and caste oppression. Rather than recommend

namely, humour.
The third book in the classic eight volume graphic novel series
retelling the story of Buddha, from the godfather of the genre. In
the third of the Buddha series, as Siddhartha embarks on his
journey towards enlightenment, he encounters many influences; some
forceful, like the monk Dhepa who believes that purity is only
attained through ordeals of the flesh, and some inspirational, like
the strange young acolyte, Assaji. Meanwhile, Devadatta, the young
orphaned son of Bandaka, is forced along a cruel path. Choosing to
reject humanity and compassion, Devadatta's journey will mould him
into Buddha's greatest adversary. Originated in the 1970s, Buddha
is Osamu Tezuka's unparalleled rendition of the life and times of
Prince Siddhartha. Tezuka's storytelling genius and consummate
skill at visual expression blossom fully as he contextualizes the
Buddha's ideas; with an emphasis on, action, emotion, humour and
conflict as Prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across
India and questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation
and caste oppression. Rather than recommend resignation and

The fourth book in the classic eight volume graphic novel series
retelling the story of Buddha, from the godfather of the genre. In
book four, unfulfilled by the teachings of renowned ascetics,
Siddhartha agrees to follow Dhepa into the forest of trials. But
the final ordeal of little Assjai proves to be his most poignant
lesson. As Siddhartha searches his heart and yearns for his family,
the Kosalans discover the true caste of their queen - a despised
shudra, disguised as a noble kshatriya. For the insult, the
Buddha's homeland will pay dearly. Originated in the 1970s, Buddha
is Osamu Tezuka's unparalleled rendition of the life and times of
Prince Siddhartha. Tezuka's storytelling genius and consummate
skill at visual expression blossom fully as he contextualizes the
Buddha's ideas; with an emphasis on, action, emotion, humour and
conflict as Prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across

The Eisner and Harvey Winner
The third volume of this epic graphic novel send Siddhartha further
into a world mired in pain and suffering. The journey to peace and
enlightenment looms far but bright.
Prince Siddhartha quickly learns that the monk's path is covered in
thorns and self-abuses much more profound than shaving your head.
His new companions Dhepa and Assaji accompany him to plague-ridden
town, ruled by the ravashing Visakha. On a different path filled
with as many vararies is Devadatta, an orphan who learns only that
bad almost always gets worse.
To strange cities, and dire prophecies...
