Yoshiharu Tsuge: A Nobody Artist, Gebunden

Klappentext

A revealing glimpse into the life and times of alt-manga's most intriguing comics auteur.
Tsuge Yoshiharu, one of manga's last living legends, remains an elusive and highly influential character as he moves into the final phase of his career.

A Nobody Artist features a number of loosely (and disputably) semiautobiographical vignettes often concerning a young cartoonist trying to make a go of it in the shifting manga market. True to form, Tsuge delivers much more than a straight accounting of a cartoonist's life. Lust routinely distracts our young artists while older artists again and again provide a model for what not to do, or more likely, where a cartoonist's life will lead you. Fleeting moments of domestic happiness are upset by bouts of self-doubt. As always, Tsuge's art is succinct and glorious-a beautiful document of a changing Japan.

This penultimate volume in Drawn and Quarterly's complete collection of the legendary manga-ka's oeuvre collects richly-detailed and deeply human comics stories originally published
