(above & below) Close-ups of the drawings show Miyazaki’s amazingly detailed line-work – look at the cross hatchings on the Ohmu’s eyes ! A full collection of these Nausicaa illustrations are collected in this gorgeous art book. (above & below) The first few pages of the book showcase Miyazaki’s gorgeous watercolor illustrations for the manga. The 7 Tankobon Vol boxset is printed on somewhat pulpy paper, and this deluxe edition is printed on a smoother and thicker paper grade which shows off the art work better. This special deluxe edition ( made up of 2 volumes ) was published in 1996, and comes in a bigger print size ( though still not 1:1 size of Miyazaki’s original drawings for the manga, I think ) and also better quality paper. The manga was first published in chapters by Tokuma Shoten in their monthly magazine Animage from 1982 to 1994, and when completed was collected into 7 Tankobon volumes as it appears in this boxset. Nausicaa Of The Valley Of Wind ( Kaze No Tani No Naushika ) is a manga written and illustrated by renowned anime director Miyazaki Hayao.
