Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Eagle Gn (2000-2001 Viz Digest) Vol. 5-8. Story and art by Kaui Kawaguchi. Intelligent, exciting, critically acclaimed, Eagle presents a near-future vision of America as seen through the eyes of one of Japan's most politically aware manga artists. In this volume, Takashi investigates presidential candidate Yamaoka's past, learning of the struggle between young Yamaoka and his father; the term in Vietnam that nearly killed him; and the story of Patricia Hampton, Yamaoka's wife and the inheritor of millions, who met him in their college years. But today, is he a hardened, pragmatic opportunist, or is he still the idealistic young man that Patricia loved? As the New York primaries approach, Yamaoka vies with Democratic front-runner Albert Noah for the endorsement of Gilbert Blackburn, mayor of NYC and political power broker. But as the TV debates begin, Takashi discovers that racism in America is far from dead. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 424 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.
