Pom Poko

Pom Poko, a four-issue comic series from Glénat launched in 2006, adapts the beloved Studio Ghibli film into a sequential art format, bringing the tale of shape-shifting tanuki fighting to protect their forest home to a new readership. The series is most closely associated with writer and artist Hayao Miyazaki, who created the original film, though the comic itself is a faithful visual translation of his story. It matters as a concise, beautifully rendered graphic novel that preserves the environmental themes and whimsical spirit of the animated classic for comic readers.
