Book Reviews of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 1
Book Review: A Graphic Novel Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
I was drawn to this book as a fan of the U.S.-released anime Warriors of the Wind. While I am used to video adaptations not living up to the quality of the printed form, I was unprepared for the brilliance of this graphic novel. The characters are truly involving, the political and ecological backgrounds complex, and the action sequences are exceptional. Following the complexities of the plot is not for read-on-autopilot types; this novel requires some thought. The artwork is accessable, not artsy-obscure, although some of the panels are so busy as to be almost cluttered. There are many levels to this work, and I learn more about it on each re-reading. I became so attached to this story that I can't wait to get the other volumes in this collection. This is a thoughtful, intelligent, and soulful work, far above the slash-and-trash mentality of so many other graphic novels. This is truly a work with heart, an evident labor of love.
