Finally, another art panel!
/
While it's not exactly the way I envisioned it in my head, I'm digging
it. I think I have only a few more panels before I start putting this
thing together. I found that one of my favorite artists from Japan
has had another book published. I managed to read it last week, find
it for yourself, google "Yoshihiro Tatsumi". This is full of gritty,
grimy sordid tales from Japan's 50's and 60's. Very interesting that
it takes on some rather hard hitting subjects. He does not sugar coat
his stories, some of them are quite stunning, and others are just
shocking. Single handedly creating this Japan Noir genre in which the
characters are sublime, morally corrupt and disturbed, his work is not
typical of your everyday "Manga". In fact, he himself is very distant
from the mainstream japanese comics, which is probably in my view a
good thing.
