Drawn in wiry black inks and filled in with distinct 80s pops of bright color reminiscent of Warhol’s latter-day prints, it follows a pack of trendy youths on what has all the makings of a madcap summer adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarmalade Princess\u003c\/i\u003e showcases Ito’s previously uncollected short comics fiction across a number of post-Garo alt-manga magazines such as \u003ci\u003eYakou, Comic Baku,\u003c\/i\u003e and the famed \u003ci\u003eA*Ha\u003c\/i\u003e–the Esso-sponsored monthly manga magazine that published the likes of Guido Crepax and Gary Panter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIto Shigeo’s comics center aimless urbanites in their mid-teens and early 20s. A prolific yet elusive manga-ka of the 1980s, he stopped publishing comics in 1991. After a Japanese folk rocker put Ito’s art on a 2020 album cover, interest in the author’s work spiked, prompting the republication of his short stories in Japan. \u003ci\u003eMarmalade Princess\u003c\/i\u003e is translated by prolific literary translator David Boyd.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62277340430723,"sku":"9781770469464","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781770469464.jpg?v=1785573863","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/marmalade-princess-9781770469464","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
