The Boss
Starting on October 6, author Helen McCarthy will teach a course titled "Manga - History, Context and Culture" within the Art History department of the Workers' Educational Association adult learning facility at the school's London branch. McCarthy says that the 20-week course will include information on manga creator Ippei Okamoto, GeGeGe no Kitarō creator Shigeru Mizuki, kamishibai - a story-telling form that includes the display of paper illustrations - and other topics before discussing Osamu Tezuka, "the God of manga."

Helen McCarthy is the author of numerous English-language books about anime and manga, including the 1993 Anime: A Beginner's Guide to Japanese Animation, Manga Cross-Stitch: Make Your Own Graphic Art Needlework, and the 2009 Harvey award-winning The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga. McCarthy also co-authored The Anime Encyclopedia with Jonathan Clements

It indeed sounds awesome. Me Helen tonight, as I went to the Barbican to see the Eureka seven movie. She has some good stuff inline for this.
 
One hopes Helen McCarthy informs her audiences of how to go about finding and purchasing the content she discusses. Our friends in the industry would appreciate such advertising.
