{"product_id":"nobody-artist","title":"Nobody Artist","description":"A revealing glimpse into the life and times of alt-manga s most intriguing comics auteur.  Tsuge Yoshiharu, one of manga s last living legends, 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 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":"Default Product","offer_id":57510684000600,"sku":"9781770468597","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781770468597.jpg?v=1781329561","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nobody-artist","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
