Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind by Hayao Miyazaki (1982).
The first volume of this science fiction environmental parable was published in 1982 and was transformed into an animated film in 1984, creating the foundation of Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli animation empire. Miyazaki issued the final volume of the series in 1994, marking the completion of one of the epics of Japanese comics.
The critics: "To my mind, it's the best graphic novel ever. But then, I'm a sucker for fairy tales." --Stepan Chapman, "Nausicaä of the Manga of the Pillbugs," The Comics Journal #170, 1994.
