はだしのゲン
One of the first manga to be distributed in English in the US with its original artwork intact was Keiji Nakazawa's major work "Barefoot Gen" in 1978, which was originally translated and printed under the auspices of Project Gen in Japan (by volunteers) to spread Nakazawa's message to the world, and then sent overseas and distributed in the U.S. by New Society Publishers. The second volume was translated by Frederik Schodt and Jared Cook. In December 1982 the San Francisco-based publisher Educomics released a colorized and translated version of Keiji Nakazawa's "I Saw It". Four translated volumes of Barefoot Gen were initially distributed in the U.S. in the early 1980s, especially with the help of Alan Gleason, who served as the local coordinator for the Barefoot Gen project. Short works by several "Garo"-affiliated artists including Yoshiharu Tsuge and Terry Yumura appeared in May 1985 in "RAW"'s no. 7 "Tokyo Raw" special.
