Showa: A History of Japan #[4]
In "The Japanese American Alliance," Shigeru Mizuki and Zack Davisson weave a gripping historical narrative rooted in real events, exploring the ripple effects of political scandal in 1970s Japan. With Mizuki’s distinctive art and lettering by Kevin Huizenga, the story unfolds through the lens of international intrigue and shifting alliances, grounded in the fallout from accusations tied to Lockheed and the sudden deaths of prominent Chinese statesmen. The cover, also by Mizuki, captures the tension of the era with its stark, evocative imagery.
