The Legend of Mother Sarah: City of the Angels

    (Dark Horse, 1997-1998)
™ and ©1996 MASH-ROOM Co., Ltd. and Takumi Nagayasu

In the aftermath of a nuclear war, scientists attempted to bury the nuclear devastation under ice by tilting the Earth on its axis. As humans return to the radically-changed planet from their orbital space stations, bands of technofascists and environmentalists battle over the remains of civilization. Caught between the teeth of environmental disaster and war are streams of refugees, including a young mother called Mother Sarah, who emerges as a hero of this tattered world.

Sarah: City of the Angels is an ambitious manga epic by Katshuiro Otomo and Takumi Nagayasu, brought out in a nine-issue mini-series of 48-page books from Dark Horse. The intense, principled storytelling and dramatic, detailed black-and-white art help Sarah stand out from the pack of Japanese imports and realize its high artistic goals.
