Barefoot Gen: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima #1 [New Translation]

This first volume of Barefoot Gen collects the opening chapters of Keiji Nakazawa's harrowing autobiographical manga, depicting the lead-up to and aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima through the eyes of young Gen Nakaoka. Originally serialized in the 1970s, this edition from Last Gasp presents the raw, unflinching black-and-white artwork that captures the human cost of war with stark emotional power. It stands as a landmark work in both manga and historical graphic literature, offering a deeply personal account of survival and resilience in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
