Ray Anne and all, Some of you may be interested in Barefoot Gen: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima. It's a manga series, based on the life and experiences of the author, Keiji Nakazawa, during and after the bombing of Hiroshima who was a young boy at the time. We have a more recent English series of 10 volumes (2004-2010).
