{"product_id":"a-nobody-artist-csaitm680403","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":67126172418289,"sku":"CSAITM680403","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/7186\/9863\/files\/680403.jpg?v=1791207251","url":"https:\/\/bigbcomics.com\/products\/a-nobody-artist-csaitm680403","provider":"Big B Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
