Synopsis Van Von Hunter by : Ron Kaulfersch

Book one starts off with the introduction of a cloaked figure and his werewolf companion crossing the border into the newly good-ified land of Dikay. We then explain the history of the mighty warrior Van Von Hunter. Like all Legends, his is not without embellishing. Hence, we end up telling the audience a number of inaccuracies... Von Hunter is a thousand years old, and the like. Only with slick placement of dialogue well within the books will readers eventually start to uncover the real history of Von Hunter. After the history lesson we move on to VVH's side kick. After a terrible and truly earth-shaking explosion caused by the Apoxagedon spell during the final battle with the Flaming Prince, SK lost all of her memories of fighting evil with VVH and was in turn separated from him. That was three years ago. Since that time she found her way to a little village and has been living out her life; totally devoid of her past memories. She lives with an older couple who have taken her in as the daughter they never had and she works as a bar wench. Lo, these past three years, VVH has been roaming the countryside and looking for evil to smite. Oddly, the land has become more and more peace

Synopsis Global Manga by : Casey Brienza

Outside Japan, the term ’manga’ usually refers to comics originally published in Japan. Yet nowadays many publications labelled ’manga’ are not translations of Japanese works but rather have been wholly conceived and created elsewhere. These comics, although often derided and dismissed as ’fake manga’, represent an important but understudied global cultural phenomenon which, controversially, may even point to a future of ’Japanese’ comics without Japan. This book takes seriously the political economy and cultural production of this so-called ’global manga’ produced throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia and explores the conditions under which it arises and flourishes; what counts as ’manga’ and who gets to decide; the implications of global manga for contemporary economies of cultural and creative labour; the ways in which it is shaped by or mixes with local cultural forms and contexts; and, ultimately, what it means for manga to be ’authentically’ Japanese in the first place. Presenting new empirical research on the production of global manga culture from scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as first person pieces and historical overviews written by global manga artists and industry insiders, Global Manga will appeal to scholars of cultural and media studies, Japanese studies, and popular and visual culture.
