• General Note: LSC 14.95"In the fourth installment of Shigeru Mizuki's Kitaro series readers meet a whole new cast of yokai monsters, including a giant Cyclops, the villainous Blackbeard, and a malefic sea captain who attempts to summon hell on Earth. The lead adventure "Yokai Cloth," follows Kitaro and his gang as they intercept a plot by Chinese yokai who want to enslave the Japanese population to turn the country into a yokai paradise, bringing forth the largest yokai battle yet! But anyone familiar with Kitaro knows that even the toughest yokai squad is no match for him. With the help of a few friends and some funky magic, Kitaro will do everything in his power to outwit and outplay all who challenge him. Drawn & Quarterly's kid-friendly edition showcases stories from the golden age of Kitaro, now available for the very first time in English. It also features a bonus "History of Kitaro" essay and more yokai files by the award-winning series translator and Mizuki scholar Zack Davisson. Comedy, folklore, horror, and action meld in Kitaro's Strange Adventures, epitomizing the whimsical all-age stories that make Kitaro one of Japan's most celebrated and beloved characters."--Publisher data.Paging is from back to front to preserve the original Japanese format.Translated from the Japanese.At head of title: Shigeru Mizuki's Kitaro.
