{"product_id":"a-nobody-artist-csaitm608872","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 and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50614572941451,"sku":"CSAITM608872","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4329\/7675\/files\/608872.jpg?v=1791567308","url":"https:\/\/comix-experience.myshopify.com\/products\/a-nobody-artist-csaitm608872","provider":"Comix Experience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
