Holiday reading. Started the new @simon.hanselmann out with @fantagraphics books. It's a tome and beautiful and too big and heavy to take back so I'll probably leave it in my mum's spare room for guests to appreciate. #meggmoggandowl #simonhanselmann #fantagraphics #goshcomics via Instagram https://ift.tt/2YFES4q

My guilty secret is enjoying academic studies/papers (is that a guilty secret?) As Black Hook Press gears up for the Abe release I'm trying to get a better understanding of where he fits in internationally. @mangaberg has said that Abe was the first Japanese comic artist of note recognised as a trailblazer in warts'n'all life storytelling around the same time Justin green's Binky brown ( around 71/72). This book published in 2018 is a great read for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of autobiography in comics. Autobiographical Comics by Andrew J Kunka. Thanks for this! #dokudamitenement #downandout #garo #gekiga #blackhookpress @edkanerva via Instagram http://bit.ly/2PnhOV7

#Repost @mangaberg (@get_repost) ・・・ Happy to announce that a collection of Abe Shinichi's work will be published by @blackhookpress in a few months. I finished the translation last week. Titled That Miyoko Asagaya Feeling, this is an important collection of stories about the artist’s own struggles with romance, art, alcohol, and mental illness, originally published in Garo and other venues in the early and mid 70s. Tsuge Yoshiharu is usually credited for pioneering quasi-autobiographical shishosetsu-style manga in the mid-late 60s, but these Abe stories are really the first case of a Japanese cartoonist writing regularly and in a brutally frank way about his personal life. They are more or less contemporaneous with Justin Green's Binky Brown (1972), but without all the cartoony absurdities and neurotic self-flagellation. Abe's freeform drawing, sometimes scratchy sometimes fluid, is also really amazing. Interestingly, a couple of the stories are told from his partner Miyoko's point of view. Rounding out the volume is an essay by Asakawa Mitsuhiro, who also selected the works. Pictured here is the cover of the February 1973 issue of Garo, featuring an image from Abe's story "Love" (which will appear in the Black Hook edition), with colors by Hayashi Seiichi. This will be a must-have book for both alt-manga fans and people interested in the history of comics as literature. #shinichiabe #安部慎一 #garo see #autobiographical #downandout #blackhookpress #alcoholism #70s #cultclassic via Instagram https://ift.tt/2GUBxJs

The Comics Journal reviews our most challenging Dokudami Tenement volume - Volume 3. Ryan Carey does an excellent write up and holds a valid opinion , '..contains some scenes that will surely put modern sensibilities about gender identity to the test, but is surprisingly ahead of its time in striking ways, as well." Thanks Ryan. We always knew this story would challenge a section of it's modern audience but it's part of the definitive collection in Japanese and also in the French volume 1 edition and so it's inclusion nicely sews up choices by other editors (the next edition will be solely curated by BHP) . Dokudami Tenement - It's not high art, it's low brow, and of it's time. It is comic stories from the 80s, it is long-gone Japanese-pulp comic stands fodder, and it's the art, stories, and humour of the Japanese proles of the time. It's crass, disgusting, honest, and unforgiving. It was written for a Japanese working and underclass of 30 years ago. In Orwell's 1984 Winston Smith believes the proles are allowed intellectual freedom because they lack intellect. This series is important to BHP for a few reasons - it's proletariat writing; it's shining a light on a period and section of Japan's social history that is worthy of retrospections; it doesn't care for political correctness as it comes from a time in Japan when the term P.C. wasn't a mainstream term; it tells us the ridiculously romantic stories of humans trying to live meaningful lives against the backdrop of rigid Japanese middle class social and market norms. For these broad reasons Dokudami Tenement falls into the canon Japanese proletarian literature/manga/gekiga (albeit of the crass and politically incorrect kind) and for that reason we're happy to publish it. #dokudamitenement #blackhookpress #proletariat #manga #galleryhakusen #politicallyincorrect #socialhistory #tokyo #80s #transgender via Instagram http://bit.ly/2G4wnKr

March against the proposed 'safety' redevelopment of North side of Koenji. The huge police presence is supposedly to protect the demonstrators from extreme right wing groups who may turn up which is a bit of an oxymoron as the police as a collective are probably as right wing as groups come. #protest #dokudamisou #koenji #blackhookpress via Instagram https://ift.tt/2xA8DZG

Transgender issues in 1980s Tokyo. That's Dokudami Tenement 3's theme in this dark story of Yoshio's friendship with a troubled transgender salaryman Frankie. This story pulls no punches and is likely to offend some. 144 pages inc. bio and bonus materials. At printers, ships upon delivery, link in bio. Thank you pre-order supporters. #seirinkogeisha #dokudamitenement #takashifukutani #transgender #sliceoflife #80s #crossdresser #nichome #ladyboy #manga #gekiga #blackhookpress #illustration #charlesbukowski #downandout via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Om5ovU
