When a dying demigod, Gilgamesh of Uruk, returns to his city after hundreds of years of roaming the spirit world only to find his son taking his place, he removes him from the throne to sit in it for the last time and recall the memories and adventures he had with his best friend for life, the one who gave his life purpose - Enkidu. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest known written story in the history of humanity. It was written approximately in the 2100s BCE compiled in 12 clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform, the oldest writing system. Following the adventures of a giant demigod king of the oldest city on earth, Uruk, King Gilgamesh follows his equally strong friend Enkidu from a life of power abuse into an adventurous search for immortality battling monsters and gods. Their quest is ultimately fulfilled as they are poetically immortalized by the countless writers, historians, interpreters and of course archaeologists that have worked hard to preserve the story and its meaning of love, friendship and mortality. This is my small attempt at approaching The Epic in contemporary manga/comic form that I originally started as a final project for art school but decided to expand upon it as I didn\'t feel I gave this beautiful thing justice. Enjoy and thanks if you\'ve read this far!
Tensai Bakabon (Or, \"The Genius Bakabon\" ) is a gag manga starring ironically the titular character\'s father, only known as \"Bakabon\'s Papa\". The manga generally centers around episodic stories of Papa causing trouble around town due to his own and his son\'s complete and utter incompetence. This usually attracts the attention of the local trigger-happy policeman \"Honkan\", as well as causing issues for Bakabon\'s mother (Also just known as \"Bakabon\'s Mama\" ) and his younger, but extremely intelligent brother, Hajime. While the series is quite old, many of the jokes and stories are timeless in execution, and hold up well today, which is largely why it\'s considered a classic series in Japan. 3 Bilingual comics where released by Kodansha in the early 2000s. --- - **Won the Bungeishunjū Manga Award in 1971**
