So I wish Wolk read manga — not just because he’s missing out on a lot of great storytelling; not just because I’d love to see his comments on Blade of the Immortal or Apollo’s Song or To Terra…; not even because manga has influenced American comics to a startling extent. (Consider just one example: without Lone Wolf and Cub, there is no Ronin; without Ronin, there is no The Dark Knight Returns; without The Dark Knight Returns, the past 20 years of superhero comics would look completely different.) I wish Wolk read manga because I think if he did, he’d be able to see American comics that bit more clearly. What do they know of American comics that only American comics know?
