Shinobi no mono

 

Ninja Attack officially goes on sale today in Japan -- yoroshiku!

(US, Europe, and Asia to follow this fall!)

 

 

What people are saying:

"I wish I'd had this beautiful book back in 1983 when Kevin Eastman and I created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- it would have helped a lot! At the very least, the 'ninja stuff' in our comic would have been quite a bit more authentic."

Peter Laird, co-creator, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

"The illustrations are brilliant! I wish there was a Japanese edition."

Takashi Okazaki, creator, Afro Samurai

"A very enjoyable and well-researched book that demystifies the ninja of legend!"

Stan Sakai, creator, Usagi Yojimbo

"Subterfuge! Assassinations! Secret weapons! Super-powers! Authors Yoda and Alt dig deep into Japanese history, folklore, and pop culture to bring back a saga overflowing with insight and action."

Patrick Macias, author, Tokyoscope: The Japanese Cult Film Companion

I hope it does as well, if not better than Yokai Attack!

I can't even tell you how excited I am to get my hands on this.
I loved Yokai Attack.

Im going to be in Tokyo on the 21st thru the 25th, hopefully I'll be able to find this at a book store. Even if I dont, i'll pick it up when it hits the states for sure.
Looks awesome.

[MattAlt]

You most definitely should be able to find it -- I've heard reports of it being on display at Kinokuniya (Shinjuku) and Tower Records (Shibuya).

I will wait some time to see if this book appears on Fnac shelves as the Yokai I bought before. I really do prefer to buy on a library instead of doing it online. I see that follows the same format and style as the Yokai. I like that.
