Comments on: Going batty http://www.mangablog.net/?p=2710 an ongoing conversation about manga Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:48:17 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: John T http://www.mangablog.net/?p=2710&cpage=1#comment-284035 John T Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:12:19 +0000 http://www.mangablog.net/?p=2710#comment-284035 That Bat-Manga thing is a shame. I enjoyed the book, and I think Jiro Kuwata gets proper attention within the pages of the book, but I think he probably deserved some recognition on the cover. There are good points made on both sides. You know, it doesn't have Bob Kane's name on the cover either, and Kuwata was commissioned to do the stories. In the end the mini-controversy had gotten Kuwata's name out there. I certainly didn't know it a month or two ago. That Bat-Manga thing is a shame.
