Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan by Jiro Kuwata
Batman fights crime; Japan draws its Manga.
Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan by Jiro Kuwata uncovers a lost chapter of global pop culture. It presents the 1960s Japanese adaptation of Batman, a manga series that reinterpreted the American hero through the style, tone, and tropes of shōnen adventure comics. The result is both derivative and original, blending Western superhero myth with Japanese visual storytelling and moral sensibility.
