Art of Osamu Tezuka Author to Teach Manga Class

posted on by Gia Manry
Manga history course starts in October in London

Starting on October 6, author Helen McCarthy will teach a course titled "Manga - History, Context and Culture" within the Art History department of the Workers' Educational Association adult learning facility at the school's London branch. McCarthy says that the 20-week course will include information on manga creator Ippei Okamoto, GeGeGe no Kitarō creator Shigeru Mizuki, kamishibai — a story-telling form that includes the display of paper illustrations — and other topics before discussing Osamu Tezuka, "the God of manga."

Helen McCarthy is the author of numerous English-language books about anime and manga, including the 1993 Anime: A Beginner's Guide to Japanese Animation, Manga Cross-Stitch: Make Your Own Graphic Art Needlework, and the 2009 Harvey award-winning The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga. McCarthy also co-authored The Anime Encyclopedia with Jonathan Clements.
