I love the movie, it's a visual feast every time, but the manga is transcendent and I was happy to read all but the final 12 installments in Steve Oliff's brilliant color via the unfinished Marvel/Epic TPB run when I read it for the first time. That's what led to this "Akira" piece where Kaneda is being pursued by Tetsuo looking like a bit of a ghoul...
It'll be interesting to do the page to page analysis to this "Bartkira (Simpsons)" indie comix homage book I picked up at Portland's Floating World Comics last weekend (great Shop, they have Moebius cards for $1 and so much more!!)
Full Mini-Comic + Sketch of your choice available on Etsy.
