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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis penultimate volume in Drawn and Quarterly’s complete collection of the legendary 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.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":58235091714435,"sku":"9781770468597","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781770468597.jpg?v=1781286128","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/a-nobody-artist-9781770468597","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
