Manga first came to the US in the late 1970s and early 1980s, mainly as a result of the success of anime like "Astro Boy" and "Speed Racer" on television. The first manga to be officially translated and published in English was "Lone Wolf and Cub" in 1987.

Manga has no set starting point, though recognisable manga appeared primarily just after World War II, as local artists began to be inspired by US Cartoons brought over by occupation forces. Osamu Tezuka, arguably the most influential individual person in shaping the distinctively recognisable manga "look", said he was directly inspired by Disney cartoons.

In Japan, manga is used to refer to all comics, not simply the ones westerners tend to think of manga as. The first manga were political cartoons in newspapers.

How do you you become a manga artest in stockton California?

Mangas are popular in US but only those mangas done in Japan...In Japan writing and drawing manga is a good payed job, but in US I think nobody pays much money for manga artist...Reason in Japan children reads manga and if manga becomes popular than they make anime based on manga, than if anime becomes more popular than manga, they sell it world wide first stop US...Children and anime fans in US first saw animes like Naruto, Bleach DB etc, and than they heard bout manga on which those anime were based, so they want to read it to compare and see what was rooth of their favorite anime...So manga artist is prominent job in Japan, in US it is prominent to work for DC and draw superheros...
