Speaking of Brooks and books, actress Louise Brooks appears on the cover of this Japanese manga. Titled Happy Days, it is authored by Yoshino Sakumi. I don't know much about it, though there may be at least three works in the series. THis one mayb ebe number one. Here is the amazon Japan page which lists it. This manga artist was born in Oosaka and started working in 1980, so I would assume this manga dates from more recent decades, perhaps the 1990s. If you know anything about it, please post what you know in the comments field or email the Louise Brooks Society.

Louise Brooks manga
I came across this image of Louise Brooks, which is part of a vintage Hollywood manga contest. Not sure who the artist is. More on the on-line contest, as well as further examples of older Hollywood stars done manga style, can be found here. It's kinda cute. Kinda.
