4.0 out of 5 stars
Quality Comic Paperback, 6 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Adolf - A Tale of the Twentieth Century (Paperback)
ADOLF: A TALE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY is about three people named Adolf during WWII- the infamous dictator, a half-German half-Japanese boy, and a Jewish boy. It seems that a potentially harmful document to the Third Reich has fallen into the wrong hands.
This is a historical work with fictional characters. I recommend this comic book to anyone interested in World War II, comic books, or Japanese magna.
The artwork is in black-and-white, but that does not detract from this masterpiece. There is a distinct Japanese style to the artwork.
This is the first book in a five part series. My only gripe is that the the most famous Adolf- Adolf Hitler- could have been featured in the book a little bit more. I am sure he will be in the other books- considering what the damaging information about him is.
Like I said, if you are interested in worldly events in that time period 1930's-1940's get this- now!

This review is from: Adolf - A Tale of the Twentieth Century (Paperback)
The entire Adolf series by Tezuka is fabulous.The story revolves around a secret coveted document that proves that Adolf Hitler was in fact a Jew himself.
Very well written from a Japanese Manga perspective.

What is up with the prices?, 25 April 2008
This review is from: Adolf - A Tale of the Twentieth Century (Paperback)
I can't understand why this is the only volume of this series that's not available anywhere. It's just like Akira Vol 3. Those people listing this book for $100 + can keep on dreaming!
