About the Book : Kitaro
The very first Drawn and Quarterly Kitaro collection, now back in print with a
lush new cover.
Kitaro seems just like any other boy. Of course, he isnt—what with his one eye
and jet-powered geta sandals, and the fact that he can shapeshift like a
chameleon. Its all a part of being a 350year-old yokai, a Japanese spirit
monster. Against a backdrop of photorealistic landscapes, Kitaro and his
otherworldly cartoon friends plunge into the depths of the Pacific Ocean and
forge the oft-unseen wilds of Japans countryside. The twelve stories in this
special collection include more works published in the golden age
