2nd Edition - 1st printing.
Story and art by Shigeru Mizuki. Introduction by Zack Davisson.
Kitaro seems just like any other boy. Of course, he isn't-what with his one eye and jet-powered geta sandals, and the fact that he can shape-shift like a chameleon. It's all a part of being a 350-year-old yokai, a Japanese spirit monster.
Against a backdrop of photorealistic landscapes, Kitaro and his otherworldly cartoon friends plunge into the depths of the Pacific Ocean and forge the oft-unseen wilds of Japan's countryside.
The twelve stories in this special collection include more works published in the golden age of GeGeGe no Kitaro between 1967 and 1969.
