THE LONG-MISSING MANGA CORNER: APOLOGY AND TEASER
To those, if any, who are still coming here for coverage of Japanese-language manga, I have to apologize yet again. In partial extenuation, and to whet your appetite, I'll say that I'm in the midst of reading a collection by a creator who has never been translated into English (afaik), but who is easily a match for the best American alternative or underground cartoonists of any period. The collection's highlight so far is a 230-page realistic graphic novel, first published in 1970-71. I want to do this one right.
