1st printing. Story and art by Sasaki Maki. Finally! A new edition of the long-out of print Ding Dong Cicus. This collection re-presents, for the first time in English, the best of Sasaki Makiâ's work, mainly from alt-manga super magazine Garo. Drawn between 1967 and 1974, the fifteen stories here follow Sasakiâ's groundbreaking exploration of collage methods in comics storytelling, weaving through references to R&B, rock ‘n†roll, the Vietnam War, Andy Warhol, the Summer of Love, the Beatles, British humour, and the wacky world of Japanese consumerism. Ding Dong Circus demonstrates what manga fans already knew: that in Sasaki Maki, Japan can claim not only a pioneer in experimental comics, but one of the worldâ's masters of Pop Art and a trenchant avant-garde critic of the Sixties. Published by Breakdown Press. Softcover, 6-in.x 8-in., 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $27.99.
