Media Reviews
For the last dozen years, comics enthusiasts have referred to Schodt's Manga! Manga! as 'the Bible on Japanese comics.' Now they will have to refer to Manga! Manga! as 'the Old Testament, ' because Dreamland Japan is now available as 'the New Testament, ' bringing Schodt's comprehensive scholarship on Japanese cartoon literature up to the present. -Fred Patten, animation and comics historian
