{"product_id":"9781770468597-complete-yoshiharu-tsuge-6","title":"A Nobody Artist","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","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47467277910172,"sku":"9781770468597","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/5797\/1272\/files\/9781770468597.jpg?v=1787627782","url":"https:\/\/bdcosmos.com\/products\/9781770468597-complete-yoshiharu-tsuge-6","provider":"BD Cosmos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
