Peter Mendelsund’s Dororo covers

Can we have a moment of silence for Peter Mendelsund’s book design on Osamu Tezuka’s Dororo series?

Also, W.Huff has an exciting little Amazon overview of 2008′s upcoming manga releases.

    Oh crap! My first time getting blogged on DRAWN! and It’s a time I got it wrong :(

    While the MW cover was Chip’s, after putting this post up I learned (from a comment on the post by the man himself) that the Dororo covers were actually by Vertical’s then-recently hired new Art Director Peter Mendelsund!

    At the time, the covers were only available via Amazon, so they had no attribution. I’ve now gotten my hands on volumes 1 & 2 and Peter’s name is adorning the back. So, that moment will be for Peter this time.

    In Chip news though, I recently saw a talk by him at MoCCA about his upcoming Bat-Manga! book and it is glorious and beautiful.

    Sorry for the confusion!!
