That darn Naruto is a best-seller pretty much anywhere in the world. I don't get it. I like shonen manga, positively love DragonBall and One Piece, but think Naruto is as dull as it gets. Why does it sell so much? Best, Hunter (Pedro Bouça) Taschen has a very good (and not too expensive) Little Nemo collection out too.

The copy editing isn't great, but the text pieces come in three languages and it's beautifully illustrated. Taschen put out a big fat volume on manga a couple of years ago.

They are just now having this kind of breakthrough success. I dunno, David, Marvel, DC and Darkhorse have been putting out licensed properties since the dawn of time.

I guess one would be kind of pointless without the other, though.
