Studio Ghibli Film Comics Collections Are Up For Preorder, Including Spirited Away
It turns out that Studio Ghibli films aren’t just fun to watch, they make for pretty great reading material as well! Preorders are now live for all-in-one editions of the Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service film comics. These were originally released as a series of graphic novels and quickly became popular with fans of the animated film studio.
These days, single volumes can often only be found online from resellers, but as you’d have guessed by now, they aren’t cheap. These new collections offer a budget-friendly way to get all of the volumes of each series.

These graphic novels are notable because they use the original film animation cells for illustrations. They’ve all been rearranged and reformatted to look like comic book and manga panels, and the result is surprisingly effective. Spirited Away clocks in at a total of 864 pages, while Kiki’s Delivery Service is 584 pages in all.
