Overview

This second volume of the acclaimed Barefoot Gen story follows on from the day after the bombing of Hiroshima. Gen effectively bears witness to one of the central horrors of our time. Give yourself over to . . . this extraordinary book; get used to those dewy-eyed faces & the unfamiliar story-telling conventions of Japanese manga (commix to us). This vivid & harrowing story will then burn a radioactive crater in your memory that will never let you forget it. Gen is one of those very few commix that actually pulls off the essential magic track: those little marks on paper come to fully-realized life.
