1st printing. Story and art by Kazuichi Hanawa. Doing Time portrays the daily routines of five middle-aged cellmates as they are forced into a regimented lifestyle, alien to the uninitiated, where the devil is all in the detail. The frenetic cleaning of their room; the folding of the bed sheets again and again and again; the meals which are real, imaginary or lovingly remembered to every last texture and flavor; the endless tasks; and, above all, the discipline. It is an experience that will change your life. In 1994, Hanawa was found guilty of a minor firearms violation and, in December of that year, was sent down for three years to a prison on the northernmost island of Hokkaido. This book is witness to his incarceration told in his own words and images. It is an austere tale whilst remaining humanist as well as being serenely hilarious and frightening. The story was serialized in the pages of Ax Magazine following his release in February 1998, even becoming a 2002 feature film by writer/director Yoichi Sai and starring Tsutomu Yamazaki (Tampopo) in the lead. Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 240 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $19.99.

Aisha Codante is also on the move in the effort to rescue Ladios Sopp, stopping to examine the scene of the shuttle crash, where Sopp was last seen. In the Di-Barrow camp, Braford is given another chance to track down the dragon nymph, leaving his Kyo behind to continue freaking out. A local anti-Para-Guild businesswomen appears to pay her respects to Barrow, hoping to nail down the market in his diver-power line of "medicinal" products after his (actually Bosjathfort's) impending rejuvenation. Lonn's AKD rescue mission arrives to the surprise of the Barrow camp, which hasn't a clue that it was Sopp (Amaterasu) whom Braford shot to death and who now is miraculously with the nymph and some mysterious "headdliner."

What follows is fun and games in the AKD trenches.
