West Pacific War - Vol. 3
The Manga Comic More Accurate Than a RAND Report
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - There is some irony in the three volume set of collections of the manga comic West Pacific War: The Invasion of Taiwan. As it demonstrates more accurate scenarios then your average DC-think tank report.
Though the saucy covers are famous for their buxom cover girls, minus the character arches, the series has been quite revealing.
Detailing the probable landing beaches along Taiwan’s northwest coast, the capture of the Port of Taipei, the underground airbase of Hualien, and the use of the supersonic ramjet Hsiung Feng 3 anti-ship cruise missile, Volume 3 is a great read.
If you want to procure them as a digital-format online, go HERE.
There is also a Facebook page to read about them.
The comic book is available via Sparks Publishing.
Wendell, do they sell an English translation version?
