    1st Printing. Comics Underground Japan presents the wild, subversive world of Japan's most accomplished underground comics artists. Some of the dozen artists included in this anthology will be familiar to followers of manga; others make their American debut in these pages. The richly imaginative stories in this volume show a great range of graphic style, from painstakingly detailed draftsmanship to exuberant, maniacal renderings. At the heart of each work in this anthology is a unique personal vision and a fierce artistic compulsion - these manga artists are the misfits of the art form, and they are its visionaries. Works from Yoshikazu Ebisu, Kazuichi Hanawa, Hideshi Hino, Suehiro Maruo, Pan Migiwa, Nekojiru & Hajime Yamano, Takashi Nemoto, Carol Shimoda, Yasuji Tanioka, Masakazu Toma, Muddy Wehara, and Hanako Yamada. Softcover, 7" x 10", 221 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.
