Hayao Miyazaki
“This post-apocalyptic manga is written from both a narrative and first-person point of view. As with a number of other Miyazaki works, the manga deals with man’s struggle with nature and with each other. In the manga, Earth is mostly a toxic wasteland after most life was killed as a result of warfare during the Seven Days of Fire. Much of the planet is now filled with giant forests of fungus and mould. The forests are toxic to normal life due to the toxic miasma given off by the fungus. Because habitable and farmable land is at a premium, the remaining humans fight over territory.
NAUSICAA IS ARGUABLY THE BEST MANGA EVER MADE TO DATE. The artwork is ALL highly detailed with genuine hand-drawn backgrounds and shading; there isn’t any of that “zip-a-tone” look to any background. Because even small panels have large amounts of detail, this manga is stunning to look at. The quality of artwork is deserving of an epic plot and Miyazaki certainly serves one up.
Historically, the manga is of some significance. The success of the first part of the manga paved the way to getting a Nausicaa movie made in 1984. With the funds and success of Nausicaa, Isao Takahata and Miyazaki formed Studio Ghibli a year later…. ”

I *just* noticed that I had my dirs spelled with two ‘c’s instead of 2 ‘a’s…
The first two volumes of this upload will reflect that error in the .zip filenames..The “page” titling is correct though.

Superman-Batman Generations v1-3
John Byrne
“Generations deals with the question of ‘What would happen if people in comic books actually aged?’ and takes place in its own continuity. The story consisted of chapters in the lives of both characters, taking place in different decades, and paying homage to the creators and storylines of those times.
The 1930s chapter, for instance, dealt with Superman and Batman as they were portrayed at that time (as vigilantes), while the 1950s chapter deal with Mort Weisinger-themed storylines. The storyline took place in “real time” as well, with the characters aging and offspring taking over their parents’ roles. This project was generally well received.
Each issue of Generations I had two stories, each in a different decade. Starting off in issue #1 in the year of 1939, each issue covered two decades, ending in #4 with the year 1999. The last issue’s second story however starts in 2919, where Superman and Batman look back upon their first meeting in 1929. ”

“Generations II, like its predecessor, was a 4-issue prestige format limited series; it dealt with other DC heroes in chapters in-between the stories of the first series. It was also collected as a trade paperback (ISBN 1-56389-990-6) in 2001.
The series, rather than dealing with a decade jump between stories like the original, took jumps of 11 years. Starting in 1942, each issue again told two stories, ending in the year 2019 at the end of the fourth issue. While the first series focused on the Batman and Superman families, the second featured other characters from the DC Universe, especially from the Justice Society and Justice League. ”

“Generations III was a 12-part limited series, published in 2003-2004 in standard comics format. It is a time-travel story that started in the year 1925, with each following issue taking another century jump except issues #7 and #8, who both partially dealt with the 26th century as well the 19th century. The story ended in the 30th century. ”
