Buddha, Vol. 1: Kapilavastu by Osamu Tezuka
2.0
Meh.
Those are my thoughts. This is often cited as the ultimate graphic novel experience, and maybe I need to read more of the books to gain an appreciation, but I found this to be a bit disappointing. Potty humor and big breasted women abound in this story of Buddha's birth. Not that I can't appreciate the hilarity of a well-placed piss joke, but it just didn't seem to fit here. That being said, I'd read #2 in a heartbeat.
