by Keiji Nakazawa Cartoonist Keiji Nakazawa was seven years old and living in Hiroshima in the early days of August 1945 when the city was destroyed by an atomic bomb. Starting a few months before that event, the ten-volume Barefoot Gen saga shows life in Japan after years of war and privations, as seen through the eyes of seven-year-old Gen Nakaoka. Gen has grown old enough to think about the legacy of the victims of the atomic bombing. Gen searches for a printer willing to publish an eyewitness account of the bombing written by 'Papa,' the journalist who serves as a father figure to Gen's war orphan friends. By hook and crook Gen and Ryuta manage to get the book printed and distributed, only to arouse the wrath of U.S. Army censors, who teach them a hard lesson about the politics of memory. Meanwhile, Gen's brother Koji returns home at last, only to find that their mother is on her deathbed. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

This book presents an eye-popping collection of fantastical, imaginative, pop-surrealist, and just plain twisted contemporary figurative art, executed with top-notch technique and mad skills by some of the finest and most influential artists working today. Collecting the work of 50 contemporary artists, the publishers have endeavored to compile a balanced publication, showing the extremes of both 'light' and 'dark' themes. The two extremes are usually presented separately, but here they are together under the umbrella of human experience. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

THE UPDATED REPRINT EDITION OF LOWBROW ICON ROBERT WILLIAMS' BOOK OF DRAWINGS, COMICS AND PAINTINGS. A reprint edition of the classic book of Robert Williams paintings, drawings and comics. This edition is enhanced with newer, more vibrant and accurate color images. This book is the first to featuring the amazing artwork of Robert Williams, containing an overview of Williams's early work until 1979. T-shirt designs, comics, posters, and all paintings are accompanied by a text commenting on them and introducing Mr. Williams to the public. In the late 20th and 21st century diverse forms of commonplace and popular art appeared to be coalescing into a formidable faction of new painted realism. The phenomenon owed its genesis to a number of factors. The new school of imagery was a product of art that didn't fit comfortably into the accepted definition of fine art. It embraced some of the figurative graphics that formal art academia tended to reject: comic books, movie posters, trading cards, surfer art, hot rod illustration, to mention a few. This alternative art movement found its most congealing participant in one of America's most opprobrious and maligned underground artists, the painter, Robert Williams. It was this artist who brought the term 'lowbrow' into the fine arts lexicon, with his ground breaking 1979 book, The Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams. It was from this point that the seminal elements of West Coast Outlaw culture slowly started to aggregate. Williams pursued a career as a fine arts painter years before joining the art studio of Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth in the mid-1960's. And in this position as the famous custom car builder's art director, he moved into the rebellious, anti-war circles of early underground comix. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

All of Robert Crumb's work from his very influential Weirdo magazine. Widely considered to be some of his best work ever. Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb in 1981, which ran for 28 issues. It served as a 'low art' counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumb's interests at the time: outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted 'weirdness.' The incredibly varied stories include TV Blues, Life of Boswell, People Make me Nervous, The Old Songs are the Best Songs,Uncle Bob's Mid-Life Crisis, Kraft Ebbing's' Psycopathia Sexualis, Goldilocks, The Life of Philip K Dick, and many more.
