yesterday my g/f and I had to visit her father, who had started to drink again. To see this man, just feeling sorry for himself on his couch, and having to send us to go shopping to get pills for him, was just enough. While we waited on the pills, we stopped by the library. And i'm not that big a book-reader, so instead of a book I found this "Akira"-comic, and thought "what the hell...maybe I should check it out". After 2 hours I managed to get through 3 Akira-books and I must say THAT COMIC IS LIKE THE GREATEST I HAVE EVER READ.
Shit...I just had to tell someone ... =)

i like your transition from the sad story of a man who is on booze, to the uplifting joy of comic books

Akira just started being published over here (only 20 years since its ineption), I am so happy. BTW, a nice, surreal story, Junktion.

Akira's good. (although the ending confuses me)
Ghost in the Shell is ok: but its a rip off of Bladerunner.

Bladerunner? Hmm, never thought of it that way.. Actually, it made me think of William Gibson's "Neuromancer" trilogy...
