Shigeru Sugiura

Sugiura Shigeru (1908-2000) is widely regarded as one of the masters of Japanese comics. Along with Osamu Tezuka he forged the new language of cartooning after World War II. His work spanned all genres age groups. From the 1960s until his passing he pioneered a kind of post-modern psychedelic style that was engaged at once with cultural appropriation and cosmic landscapes.
