Super Manga Blast! #20

A satisfying 128 pages of manga variety, this 2002 Dark Horse anthology puts What's Michael? front and center on its cover — illustrated by Makoto Kobayashi — where a massive, stretching orange tabby commands the scene alongside a white cat, a smaller orange kitten, and a perched Shiba Inu, while a row of amusingly caricatured human figures looks on from below. Rounding out the lineup are previewed strips including Seraphic Feather, Club 9, Shadow Star, and 3×3 Eyes, giving readers a genuinely generous cross-section of styles and tones. At under six dollars for over a hundred pages, this issue delivers a warm, cat-hair-covered armful of manga storytelling.
