Waseda manga collection

[joseph murphy]

In the meantime, I highly recommend Ohio State University's Cartoon 
Research Library.  They have complete back issues of Garo and a number 
of other seminal magazines, complete collected works of major manga 
artists, original drawings, cels, etc.  It's quite impressive, 
especially if you've worked on this in Japan, and you know holdings can 
be quite scattered.  I'm not sure what their holdings are exactly, but 
it should be a starting point for anyone seriously working in manga in 
the US.  Another advantage is the Japanese collection is only a part of 
the CRL, situated in a larger cartoon context including major american 
cartoonists back to the early 20th century.  It's a good facility too, 
very hospitable to visiting scholars.  Check

for more details and information about visiting.
yours,
J. Murphy
