Ryan Holmberg on Garo & Alternative Manga!

Posted: February 20, 2014

Next Wednesday, February 26th, American expert Ryan Holmberg is giving a free illustrated talk about the remarkable magazine Garo, started in 1964, which revolutionised alternative manga in Japan. Holmberg has written and exhibited widely about this subject, most recently in the collection Gold Pollen and other stories by modern master Seiichi Hayashi, published last year by PictureBox (see image above, 1972). Don’t miss what promises to be a fascinating insight into this rich area of Japanese comics. It’s at SOAS, College Buildings, Room G50, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG from 5.05-7.00pm. Tickets are free. Full details here…
