Gu~ta-lala Su~da-lala! On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum are joined by manga letterer and Urasawa super fan, Aidan Clarke, as well as host of both Duckface Diaries and Podcastmon Adventures, Wensleydale Cheddar, to discuss one of Naoki Urasawa's most beloved manga series with 20th Century Boys! A multifaceted, sprawling Stephen King-esque story about a group of kids born in the 60's whose wild and active imaginations are co-opted and brought to life decades later by a cult-like figure known as "The Friend" in order to take over the world, and its up to our now grown up heroes to stop them! Join our favorite Mavericks as they jump around as much the series does in discussing every facet that stood out to them from this amazing tale! From the now seemingly prophetic story of a world on a downward spiral, to the dangers of out of control nostalgia and fanaticism, and especially...the power of music! Enjoy!
