Shiratsuchi Sampei Den Kamuy Den No Shinjitsu (Shogakukan Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The only full-scale biography of the living myth of the manga world, Sanpei Shiratsuchi. The manga artist, who became the darling of the times with the smash hits "Ninja Bugeicho" and "Sasuke," experienced the hardships of wartime under the tutelage of his leftist artist father, and after the postwar era of paper theater and rental books, he launched the monthly "Garo" in search of a freer form of expression. He then started a monthly magazine, "Garo," in search of free expression, and marked the turbulent times with "Kamui-den," before continuing with "Kamui-den Part II" in a small fishing town in Boso. This is a book of his entire body of work, which describes the secrets of his creative work and the origins of his private life and thought, which are shrouded in a veil. After the publication of the book, a section referring to "The Third Part of Kamui Biography," which is currently in the planning stage, is newly included in this expanded and definitive edition. Includes illustrations and a portrait of the author.
