 Super Mario Adventures
The first 12 comic episodes presented in this
book originally ran as a series in Nintendo Power
magazine, beginning in January, 1992, (Volume
32) and running through December, 1992. The
final episode, which was printed in the first issue
of 1993, introduced Mario’s alter ego and
tormented childhood playmate, Wario. The
comics don't follow the story line of any
particular game; however, they do incorporate
many characters from the games and even
introduce some new ones.

Charlie Nozawa, the artist who created the

comics, is known in Japan by the pen name
Tamakichi Sakura. His most notable works
include “Shiawase No Katachi” (Shapes of
Happiness) and “Oyaji No Wakusei” (Dad’s
Planet). Kentaro Takekuma dreamed up the
scenario. He is known in Japan for co-authoring
“Comic Lesson: Even an Ape Can Draw a Comic.”
