Summit of the Gods Vol.3 by Jiro Taniguchi
On his third Everest expedition in June 1924, George Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine disappeared on the North-East ridge during their ascent - having been sighted only a few hundred metres from the summit. Makoto Fukamachi, photographer and mountaineer, continues his search for Habu Joji and the camera which could hold the secret to Mallory's attempt. His quest takes him high into Nepal to the town of Namche Bazar, capital of Sherpa country. Taniguchi's realistic art and Baku's timeless script will take readers to the heights mountaineers can only dream of.
Jiro Taniguchi was born August 14th, 1947 in Tottori, Japan. He spent five years as assistant to the late mangaka Kyuta Ishikawa in Tokyo in the 60's then debuted himself in 1971 inside Young Comics. 'A Journal Of My Father' is one of several of his books which reflect on his own past which include our best selling 'A Distant Neighborhood' and 'A Zoo In Winter' from this great creator who sadly died in February 2017 aged just 69.
