1st printing. Story and art by Jiro Taniguchi. Lost in the Great North, two men are saved by the appearance of an old hunter who divulges a strange legend to them: Surrounded by wolves and fighting for their survival, two explorers head for Alaska to bury their companion. In 1920's Japan a man sets out to find the bear that killed his son. A marine biologist begins a quest to find the mythical graveyard of whales. Six shorts with as many stories of men confronted with a savage nature which is sometime cruel, sometimes forgiving but always vast. Through tales filled with respect for animal life, this splendid collection, which lies at the crossroads of poetry and adventure, shows master story-imager Taniguchi at his award-winning best. Softcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in. 246 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $21.99.
