This article on the rise of manga around the world is absolutely the most interesting thing I've read all day--okay, it's neck in neck with the biography about Panizzi. It doesn't talk much in detail about American comics, only generally, but there's tons in there about French comics, and, of course, manga from Tezuka onwards. This is not your average "wow, manga sure is popular!" piece. Check it out; it's worth your time.
