Rage against hypocrisy, injustice, exploitation, and the wrongs done to a child who grew into a righteous killer....Complete in three volumes, \u003cem\u003eSearch and Destroy\u003c\/em\u003e transplants the vengeful action of \u003cem\u003eDororo\u003c\/em\u003e from feudal Japan into a dystopian future where mercenary robots known as \"creatures\" serve the human elite and victimize the city's scrabbling, desperate masses. The violent death of one of these creatures connects an orphaned thief named Doro with a mysterious girl in a stinking animal hide that conceals deadly cybernetic implants. Who is this mysterious girl? How is she killing, one by one, the city's most twisted and powerful creatures?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally serialized from 2019-2021 in the Japanese manga monthly \u003cem\u003eTezuComi\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSearch and Destroy\u003c\/em\u003e is a brilliantly-crafted thriller about an outsider looking for meaning and vengeance in the unjust world that took everything away from her. Kaneko populates a stunning, high-contrast setting that echoes postwar Cuba as much as Tokyo with an unforgettable cast of scrappy heroes and skin-crawling monsters on a nonstop ride full of action and suspense. This authorized retelling updates the rebellious '60s spirit of the original \u003cem\u003eDororo\u003c\/em\u003e to the equally tumultuous 2020s, mixing Tezuka's signature dark yet playful storytelling sense with Kaneko's own wide range of influences which include Western cartoonists like Daniel Clowes and Charles Burns as well as filmmakers like David Lynch. The result is not only one of the best sci-fi manga of recent years but also one of the most visually rich and distinctive works of graphic storytelling in any genre or language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: This book is a traditional work of manga and reads back to front and right to left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Atsushi Kaneko,Osamu Tezuka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Search and Destroy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683969327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024 pg. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout The Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKaneko, Atsushi:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAtsushi Kaneko\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Japanese manga artist from Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture.
