Besides being pretty, intelligent and courageous, Yoko Tsuno is an electronics engineer. This specialization draws her and friends Pol and Vic into adventures that cross the border between fantasy and science fiction. Yoko crosses the globe and travels through time and space; but no matter where her exploits take her, the young girl always remains faithful to herself, never forgetting values such as loyalty, friendship and respect for life. In this first volume, our heroine is called to the bedside of her friend Ingrid, who is struck down by a mysterious disease that leaves her powerless. Yoko Tsuno soon realizes that a strange vampire, dressed all in black, shadows her.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good European graphic novel for younger readers,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: On the Edge of Life: Yoko Tsuno 1 (Paperback)
"Yoko Tsuno, v.1: On The Edge Of Life"
Written & Illustrated by Roger LeLoup (Cinebook, 2007) ----------------------------------------------- An action-packed adventure story featuring the teenage heroine, Yoko Tsuno, a Japanese-born Belgian citizen who holds an engineering degree and loves to solve mysteries across the globe. The series, originally published in French in the 1970s, is sort of like Nancy Drew with a scientific twist. One of the greatest features is artwork, an excellent example of the European "clear line" style, with detail-oriented, realistic artwork and, in particular, an amazing dedication to architectural detail. This story is set in a German city filled with medieval chalets; the graphic presentation is pretty stunning. This particular volume is a little confusing because, although it says it's "volume 1," this was originally the seventh Yoko Tsuno story published in the French editions, so in a sense we are coming in on the middle of the action, rapidly introduced to a preexisting cast of characters. Some sort of republication rights issue, I'm sure. Regardless, it won't deter most readers -- this is a fast-paced, science-oriented adventure story with a strong female heroine and quite suitable for younger readers, with no sexual content or extreme violence, etc... Worth checking out! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)
