About this Collection

This German softcover edition collects the first volume of Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark cyberpunk manga series. It introduces the post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo and the story of Kaneda and Tetsuo, whose lives are forever changed by a secret government project involving a powerful psychic entity known as Akira.

Akira #1 (1991), published by Carlsen Comics, features the story "Die alte Stadt" and presents the early chapters of the iconic series, with Katsuhiro Otomo serving as writer, artist, and inker. The issue includes character appearances as part of the Akira narrative, with colorist Steve Oliff and letterer Steffen Boiselle contributing to the visual presentation. The cover, also by Otomo, showcases the distinctive style that defines the series.
