Yoshihiro Tatsumi
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is known as the grandfather of alternative manga in Japan. Regarded highly by cartoonists—and fans—all over the world, Tatsumi’s work has finally made it into English translation with the publication of Drawn and Quarterly’s edition of The Push Man and Other Stories, reprinting classic stories from the artist’s 1960s period. Tatsumi’s work predated the advent of the literary graphic novel movement in the US by 30 years. 2006 marks his first appearance at Comic-Con International.
