近未来の荒廃した世界を描いたSFコミックであり、緻密でリアルな描写や演出などが話題となり、漫画・映画共に大ヒットした。タイトルの「AKIRA」は大友自身がファンであり影響を受けた映画監督黒澤明に由来する。題字の毛筆による書は漫画家の平田弘史によるものである。
単行本は週刊誌と同じ大判サイズに小口への色付けを施すなど、凝った装丁になっている。日本国外ではアメリカンコミックのスタッフが着色した外国語版が流通しており、これを日本語に逆翻訳したものが『国際版AKIRA』及び『総天然色AKIRA』として日本で発売された。
アニメ映画の制作費には当時の日本のアニメとしては破格の10億円をかけている。制作手法としてアフレコではなくプレスコを採用している。通常リミテッドアニメーションでの人物の口の動きは3種類であるが、この作品では母音の数と同じ5種類で描かれている。音楽は芸能山城組が担当した。この映画は日本のみならず日本国外でも大きな人気を集めた。ビデオ化に際しても多くのカットに手を加えたり、音楽関係に手を加えており、今なお進化し続けている作品である。

Long before manga took the American comics market by storm, Scott McCloud ( Understanding Comics , Making Comics ) combined the best ideas from manga, alternative comics, and superheroes into Zot! —a frenetic and innovative exploration of comics' potential that helped set the stage for McCloud's later groundbreaking theoretical work. Zachary T. Paleozogt lives in "the far-flung future of 1965," a utopian Earth of world peace, robot butlers, and flying cars. Jenny Weaver lives in an imperfect world of disappointment and broken promises—the Earth we live in. Stepping across the portals to each other's worlds, Zot and Jenny's lives will never be the same again. Now, for the first time since its original publication more than twenty years ago, every one of McCloud's pages from the black and white series has been collected in this must-have commemorative edition for aficionados to treasure and new fans to discover. Includes never-before-seen artwork and extensive commentary by Scott McCloud

As with her brilliantly successful graphic novel Gemma Bovary , Tamara Drew is likewise inspired by a 19th century novel — in this case, Far From the Madding Crowd . Set in a writers’ retreat, it is a thrilling tale of jealousy and desire.

古谷实式的迷茫，在这里变得清新，浅野一二○式的焦虑，在这里变得隐忍，《梦想的尽头》式的明晰，在这里变成一种挣扎。立意自然是积极的，梦想啦，做自己啦，但石黑想要表现的并不是那种义无反顾去奋斗的热诚。初看这部作品时，只道是入巢和琉加这两个女生像损友多过百合的又欢乐又无聊的同居生活，她们的关系以及面对人生的不同态度，都显然不是为了歌颂青春的美好，连同她们周围的人，例如想要泡琉加的死大学生，都是在为这个年龄的人所拥有的一种暧昧特质树立群像。琉加玩音乐且希望能玩出成绩，但是对自己的不自信以及市场本身的不规范，使得她的花火明明灭灭，充满不安，而入巢身上更多的是一种可贵的傻气，不具备太强烈的个性，却至少纯真，因此在某种程度上，她们两个人是互补的，都有过看着对方却感觉遥远的时候，也都成为对方某种程度上的心灵归港。

The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and their new team leader, a former corpse himself, moves into their new headquarters only to unearth a gigantic long-buried secret involving United States government covert experiments and Nazi scientists. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola teams with artist Guy Davis and co-writer John Arcudi to carve out a bold new direction for the B.P.R.D., while Abe Sapien, still reeling from the revelation of his former life as a Victorian scientist, meets his long-dead wife in their crumbling home by the sea. The strangest team book in comics gets weirder with this tale of the walking dead, madness, the Spear of Destiny, and a monstrous gateway to heaven.

The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense faces its worst tragedy ever as the war against the plague of frogs reaches a devastating new level. Heralded by a bizarre villain from the B.P.R.D.'s past, an ancient monster-god marches across the American heartland portending an end to the reign of men, and leaving a permanent mark on the Bureau. Hellboy-creator Mike Mignola continues his collaboration with artist Guy Davis and co-writer John Arcudi to unravel a tale that will leave the earth shaken and the B.P.R.D. shattered. This collection includes a sketchbook section chronicling Guy Davis's creation of the abominations unleashed in The Black Flame.

Hellboy creator Mike Mignola finally reveals Abe Sapien's bizarre history. Introduced in the first Hellboy book and featured prominently in the film, Abe Sapien has remained one of the most intriguing mysteries of Mignola's celebrated work. The recent Hellboy film steered clear of any origin story for Abe so that the tale could be told in Plague of Frogs. The story of Abe's origins unfolds as the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense try to stop the monstrous frog men from the first Hellboy graphic novel, Seed of Destruction. The plague begins its spread across America, lending an apocalyptic new direction to Mignola's stories.

Visionary writer/artist Paul Pope presents a futuristic mystery of epic proportions set in a dark, dystopian world devoid of privacy and filled with government conspiracies, psychic police, holographic caller ID and absolutely no room for "secret identities."
In Gotham City, 2039, a federal agent is murdered and a contingent of Washington's top agents is hot on the suspect's trail. The Batman, a forgotten icon from the past, is wanted for the murder. Amid the chaos Gotham City Police Detective Gordon, grandson of the former commissioner, discovers that the man they are chasing shouldn't exist at all.

Suburban Seattle, the mid-1970s. We learn from the out-set that a strange plague has descended upon the area's teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact. The disease is manifested in any number of ways—from the hideously grotesque to the subtle (and concealable)—but once you've got it, that's it. There's no turning back.

As we inhabit the heads of several key characters—some kids who have it, some who don't, some who are about to get it—what unfolds isn't the expected battle to fight the plague, or bring heightened awareness to it, or even to treat it. What we become witness to instead is a fascinating and eerie portrait of the nature of high school alienation itself—the savagery, the cruelty, the relentless anxiety and ennui, the longing for escape.

And then the murders start.

As hypnotically beautiful as it is horrifying, Black Hole transcends its genre by deftly exploring a specific American cultural moment in flux and the kids who are caught in it—back when it wasn't exactly cool to be a hippie anymore, but Bowie was still just a little too weird.

To say nothing of sprouting horns and molting your skin…
