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":"Default Title","offer_id":48946490114303,"sku":"9781770469464","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781770469464","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
