JEEG ROBOT D'ACCIAIO - MANGA J-POP - GO NAGAI - AKIRA OZE - RECENSIONE

An untold adventure of the legendary robot created by Go Nagai Jeeg, the legendary super robot of "heart and steel" created by the imagination of Go Nagai (Mazinger Z, Devilman), returns to battle in an untold story by Akira Oze. In 1975, during the first broadcast of the Jeeg anime, the so-called "comicalize" of the animated version appeared in the Japanese magazine Action Comics, a comic book adaptation in which the author was free to reinterpret the key plot points according to his own sensibilities. The result is a truly unique reinterpretation of the saga, both reminiscent of the TV version and distinct from it, bringing a fresh and original touch to the story. A new lease of life for Go Nagai's classic, which, along with Grendizer, helped define the mecha genre and shaped generations of fans! From a secret underground cave, after two thousand years, an ancient and fearsome threat awakens: the alien people of the Jamata, intent on conquering the Earth and destroying humanity! Only Hiroshi, transformed by his father into an android after a fatal accident, can save the world thanks to his ability to become Jeeg, the ultimate robot! Since the 1970s, Akira Oze has been a leading figure in the manga scene. He began his career creating several comicalized manga (including the adaptation of Shotaro Ishinomori's cult classic Flying Phantom Ship, in collaboration with a very young Hayao Miyazaki), before moving on to successful shonen and seinen series. His Steel Jeeg had never before been published in an Italian edition, making it a highly anticipated work and a true collector's item.
