I stumbled upon it in the famous comic shop Lambiek in Amsterdam. They were pretty proud to have that book, but I basically put down all the money I had at the time (teen, always strapped for cash) and bought the book. I never regretted it, and it's still one of my most cherished books.. I'm not a collector or anything, but there's just something in his works that utterly compels me. Since then I managed to find a couple of small color Akira volumes from Epic (US) and even one of the colored big volumes (volume one :) ). Only years later I was finally able to read Akira in its entirety after Dark Horse republished it. Still, Kaba is an amazing book, if you have any doubts if you should buy it, just do it ok? :) I bought Kaba many years ago just after I had seen Akira (which was already out for at least a decide haha)..

Otomo is one of my favourite artists, and I'd love this book, but it looks too pricey for me. I love that Eischer piece on the left page in the 11th photo. Thats a great looking book.

I am wondering when Otomo will have new work publish again. May be a new movie or new comic. We need to see more from him out there. That’s a very good book, nice post man.

I wasn´t familiar with his pre-Akira period, indeed a style that it´s recognized inmediatly. i can see a tribute to M. C. Escher in the b/w draw of the sphere reflecting the whole room. Agree with BitterLix, you must have a whole furniture just for books, ages ago i want to grab my hands with "Xenogears perfect Works" or "Slam Dunk 10 days after Cardboard cards set". Any sugestions? expensive ones both things :( Greetings! ñ____ñ what a great artist Katsuhiro Otomo is!
