ARS MAGNA - Yukito Kishiro Art Book

ARS MAGNA is a collection of illustrations by manga artist Yukito Kishiro, most well known for his Gunnm ( Battle Angel Alita ) series of comics. This is his first published art book and the bulk of the contents feature illustrations from the various Gunnm manga series, a chapter for Aqua Knight, and one of the final chapters feature art work from numerous smaller projects.

I've been a fan of Gunnm since its release 25 years ago, captivated by Kishiro's brilliant character/costume designs and beautifully choreographed fight scenes. That the style of his art work often carry references from Moebius is a plus too.

For quite a while there's been talk of a live-action adaptation film to be directed by James Cameron, I'm wondering how that's coming along ?

For a manga that has been published a quarter of a century ago, an art book is way long overdue. This is a must have for fans of Gunnm and Yukito Kishiro's art work. Highly recommended.
