Book Reviews of Dororo Volume 1 (v. 1)

Book Review: Bizarre and Amazing
Summary: 4 Stars

Sort of a segue between Tezuka's more lighthearted work of the 50s and 60s (plenty of which is still quite dark at times) and his very adult work of the 70s, Dororo is disturbing and horrifying at times but still couched in a (really genius) action plot, and still full of ridiculous puns and gags. What's more, Tezuka here is, in a strange way, at his most Jack Kirby-esque in that he merges goofy and fun old school storytelling with crazy ideas and incredible pathos.

Haunting and sickening, but also really great and fun and bad-ass, it's just a great read. The image of Hyakkimaru as a baby will haunt you.
