{"product_id":"a-nobody-artist-9781770468597","title":"A Nobody Artist HC *PRE-ORDER*","description":"A 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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize (in inches):\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00 x 8.50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize (in cm):\u003c\/b\u003e 15.24 x 21.59\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Comics \u0026amp; Graphic Novels - East Asian Style - Manga - General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCreator(s):\u003c\/b\u003e (W) Yoshiharu Tsuge (CT) Ryan Holmberg; Mitsuhiro Asakawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOn-Sale Date:\u003c\/b\u003e November 10, 2026","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57273950699785,"sku":"9781770468597","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3514\/7159\/files\/9781770468597.jpg?v=1787573042","url":"https:\/\/waltscomicshop.com\/fr\/products\/a-nobody-artist-9781770468597","provider":"Walt's Comic Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
