Description
The first story in this anthology, "Who Fighter," is a play on the legendary "Foo Fighters," the nickname given to the mysterious, UFO-like fireballs that were sighted by World War II pilots. An ace Japanese pilot manages to shoot one of the fireballs down . . . or does he? As ominous signs and visions begin to follow in his steps, the bewildered pilot wonders if he’s lost not only his memory of the incidentñbut also his very mind! The second story, "Heart of Darkness," is Takizawa’s unique take on the Joseph Conrad novel that inspired the film Apocalypse Now. A Japanese war hero, Colonel Kurutsu, has gone rogue, setting up his own private kingdom deep upriver in the jungles of Burma. A young captain, sent to execute Kurutsu, finds that the true reasons for the Colonel’s "desertion" are very different from what he was told. Finally, a short piece, "Tanks," closes out the collection with a surreal voyage through one hundred years of armored vehicle battles!

Testo della bandella:
In Who Fighter, il primo dei tre racconti del tankoubon e anche quello che dà il titolo alla raccolta (in un gioco di parole che fa il verso alle leggendarie palle di fuoco Foo Fighters, realmente avvistate durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale), un pilota giapponese riesce ad abbattere un “oggetto volante non identificato”, ma da quel momento la sua vita non sarà più la stessa… il pilota non ricorderà più niente dell’incidente, ma insieme alla memoria perderà anche la salute mentale. Il secondo short, Heart of Darkness, è una suggestiva reinterpretazione dell’omonimo romanzo di Conrad, che a sua volta ispirò il film Apocalypse Now. Anche nella visione di Takizawa il folle colonnello Kurtz fonda un proprio regno nella giungla, dopo aver disertato... In appendice, conclude l’opera Tanks, un surreale viaggio attraverso 100 anni di battaglie tra i veicoli corazzati.
