Beautiful color one-shot from Keiji Nakazawa, an autobiographical recounting of his harrowing experiences in Hiroshima preceding Barefoot Gen. Heartbreaking and horrifying, with wonderfully accomplished artwork —an unforgettable rendering of the inhumanity of war.
This is the original US edition, published in 1982 by Educomics.
Keiji Nakazawa sets the mood with his personal account of the bombing of Hiroshima in I Saw It, a poignant tale that spells out the human cost of the atomic bomb and the implications that resonate throughout the rest of their lives.
The List
Nakazawa was born in Hiroshima, and was six years old when the city was destroyed by an atomic bomb in 1945. All of his family members who had not been evacuated died in the bombing, except for his mother, and an infant sister who died several weeks after the bombing. Compelled to tell his story in the memory of his family, Keiji Nakazawa is best known for his epic tragic history Barefoot Gen.
