I tried two Hellboy comics recently. I did not care for them.
M*A*S*H fans will recognize “Tokyo Shoeshine Boy” by Teruko Akatsuki as frequent ambient music on the show.
The song also figures into Wes Anderson movie “Isle of Dogs,” and “Akira,” or so I have been given to understand.

The Virtual Reality train and why this VC isn’t hopping on just yet
