BAOBAB #1
by Igort
Manga fans will relish Baobab, a series initially set in Japan at the turn of the last century, when a small, sickly, orphaned boy on the outskirts of Tokyo grows up hearing the stories his grandmother tells of her youth as the daughter of a Navy officer. This ambitious project, which will expand to cover 40 years and three continents, is elegantly told and drawn by Igort, who rose to prominence with Drawn and Quarterly's 5 is the Perfect Number as well as appearing in the last Comics Journal Special.
