In-Store: 11\/10\/26 | Ships after release)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA revealing glimpse into the life and times of alt-manga’s most intriguing comics auteurTsuge Yoshiharu 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 manga-ka’s oeuvre collects richly-detailed and deeply human comics stories originally published between 1981 and 1985. Translated by prolific manga scholar and art historian Ryan Holmberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMainIdentifier: 9781770468597\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781770468597\u003cbr\u003e\nSeriesName: Complete Yoshiharu Tsuge\u003cbr\u003e\nWriter: Yoshiharu Tsuge\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisherName: Drawn and Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\nPageCount: 304\u003cbr\u003e\nFormatName: Manga RTL - HC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BandJcomics","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":50531696050253,"sku":"9781770468597","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/0486\/4333\/files\/9781770468597.jpg?v=1790418649","url":"https:\/\/bandjcomics.com\/products\/a-nobody-artist-pre-order-by-101226-est-in-store-111026-ships-after-release","provider":"B and J Comics Etc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
