Castle in the Sky Film Comic: All-in-One Edition

Acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki’s fantastic adventure takes to the air in search of the Castle in the Sky!

An incredible adventure begins when Pazu, an engineer’s apprentice, spies a young girl, Sheeta, floating in the sky, held aloft by a glowing pendant. Together they explore the secrets of Laputa, a flying city constructed by a long-lost race of people. But their quest won’t be easy, as soon they’re pursued by greedy air pirates, the military, and secret government agents, who all seek the power Sheeta alone can control.
