Historical mythology in comic form. Yay! I’m not a big Buddha expert, so I’m enjoying this introduction (of course I don’t entirely know how accurate the representation is).

The characters seem slightly childish, but not so much that I’m annoyed yet. One bit of mixed praise and concern: I can’t imagine that it’s ever going to get better than the opening scenes with the man, bear, fox, and rabbit – that’s among the most touching things I’ve read, illustrated or not.

Oh, and unmitigated concern: my library has volumes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. I’ll have to do something about that.
