So glad to see this! Quite frankly, if you don't know who Shigeru Mizuki is your knowledge of anime/manga--and Japan--is sorely lacking. Imagine calling yourself a fan of American superhero comics yet having no idea who Jack Kirby is. Or being a fan of comics in general and not knowing Will Eisner

I'm glad to announce that I'll be hosting a panel on the legendary mangaka Shiger Mizuki! It'll be held @animenj.bsky.social Friday Nov. 13th 12:45pm. At the Hilton Hasbrouck Heights NJ! Join my as I talk about his life, works, his legacy, and what makes him a God of Manga!

Mizuki really is one of those foundational figures whose influence feels way bigger than his name recognition. The Kirby comparison lands.

I mean, only in the US. In Japan he is more like Walt Disney level famous. There isn't a single Japanese person who doesn't know Mizuki. The same cannot be said about Kirby.
