Manga

[Jehni125]

My cousin has recently became an Ayn Rand fan (I talked him into read Fountainhead). Now, he wants more Objectivist works. I let him barrow a copy of Atlas Shrugged but he said it was too big. I gave him Anthem and he liked that... Now he is asking me if there is any Objectivists manga...

I have never read any manga so I can't tell him if there are any or not...

Any one know of any?

Sorry that I can't help you, but your book-loaning story reminded me of another that I can't resist passing along. In the early 60s a reporter visited an NBI lecture in New York while doing a story on Rand and quoted one woman in the audience to another: "I loaned my copy of Atlas Shrugged to a friend, and I felt so awful that I bought it in paperback just to have it around the house."

I do not recall hearing of any Objectivist manga (japanese comic books).

The only comics out there based on Objectivist ideas are some of the work of Steve Ditko. There are some other threads about him here on-line.

I have that I rarely see copies of Ayn Rand's works at library sales. In the DC area I am told a wealthy Objectivist will buy all the ones he can find.

~ A 'manga' (or even 'anime') version of O'ist ideas?

~ I don't think such exists...yet.

~ He said that ATLAS SHRUGGED was...'too big'? Then he's really not 'ready' to learn about O'ism. When he finds comix lacking, then he might be ready...maybe. --- Liking a 'story' enough to want more of 'the same' isn't the same as needing to learn more about where the author's coming from in them.
