From Japan, legendary animator and designer Keiichi Tanaami contributes a 20 page section of new work. Cartoonists King Terry, Shigeru Sugiura, Yuichi Yokoyama, and Tanioka all are represented with substantial amounts of their work printed in English for the very first time. This nearly 80-page section will be a manga-lover's delight. Also featured in the Japan section is EYE (from the Boredoms). From Canada, Marc Bell, Julie Doucet, Scott Evans, Marc Connery and Destroyer's Dan Bejar will all be featured. From beyond Japanada, artist Jim Shaw contributes a section of his visionary dream drawings, British illustrator Will Sweeney is featured with a brand new comic story, and the issue is filled out by articles on record cover designer Barney Bubbles (The Damned, Elvis Costello), mushrooms, and Steve Gerber (the creator of Howard the Duck).

Sweet compilation of odd illustration, drawings, comix
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a pretty cool, diverse book with a strange focus on Canadian and Japanese experimental comix/illustration. For the price, you are getting a lot to read. I do pick this one up and re-read it occasionally. Broken down into Japan and Canada sections, with a different section for each artist within this. As expected with all Picturebox releases, the book is highly readable with an assortment of amazing artwork that will inspire you to make strange drawings, but keep in mind that straightahead comix are the exception and not the rule in this one. By the way, there is no Ganzfeld 6. They skipped it and have gone straight to 7, the last one to be published. Available only through purchasing it on Picturebox's website.
