Red Red Rock and other stories 1967-1970

A definitive, career-spanning collection of stories from one of Japan’s most famous alternative cartoonists. Totalling more than 250 pages, Red Red Rock collects over a dozen of Hayashi Seiichi’s most famous stories from his most prolific period, spanning his debut for Garo in 1967 to his adult work for Josei Jishin in 1969-70.

“Discovering Hayashi Seiichi’s work was a revelation – it’s an astonishing blend of sensibilities, steeped in a graceful melancholy” – David Mazzucchelli
