I Saw It - comic book edition (1982)

Beautiful color one-shot from Keiji Nakazawa, an autobiographical recounting of his harrowing experiences in Hiroshima preceding  Barefoot Gen . Heartbreaking and horrifying, with wonderfully accomplished artwork —an unforgettable rendering of the inhumanity of war. Nakazawa’s short story is infinitely more powerful for its portrayal of the sacrifices his mother makes so that Keiji can become a cartoonist.
