Pollyanna

Pollyanna

A collection of comics and essays in celebration of the Mother/Earthbound video game series from 35 contributors.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

This is a fantastic tribute to Nintendo’s quirky role-playing-game Mother/Earthbound! It took a long time for me to acquire this book because shipping was limited due to the pandemic but I was so happy when I finally got it. Some well known manga artists like Taiyo Matsumoto and Inio Asano and even Toby Fox, creator of Undertale, contributed to this collection. I love all the different stories that celebrate the wonderful world of Mother/Earthbound!
