Princess Mononoke Film Comic, Vol. 2 (2) (Princess Mononoke Film Comics)

Product Description

Raised by wolves and calling the forest her home, a young girl by the name of Princess Mononoke is the only one who can save the planet!

It was the Age of Iron: a time when mankind was just starting to understand its ability to exploit the earth and all its natural resources. But a war was brewing–a war between a village of iron miners and the animal gods of the surrounding forest.

From behind the walls of an iron-mining town called Tatara, Lady Eboshi is determined to rid all obstacles to development. Much to her aggravation, however, there’s one person who has vowed to stop her: the princess of beasts and ancient gods–Princess Mononoke!!
