   Shigeru Mizuki's "Hitler"

   Hi Readers and Typers,   
      
   	I got this at the San Francisco Public Library-Main from   
   the biographical section.   
   	I had read disparaging reviews and I have to say this does   
   not come up to the standard I expected from Mizuki.  But this is   
   a much less cartoon-like version of the humans involved.  It lacks   
   some of the venom associated with the Western biographies of the   
   subject which I have read.  Doubtless because Mizuki did not   
   really have any contact with the NAZI side of the Axis during   
   WW II nor did the Japanese ever conceive of the Jewish populace   
   as a danger to the state.  Similarly while he shows the tortured   
   bodies of the death camp in end papers he does not explore the   
   Holocaust in any detail.
