Does anyone read older manga? If you do come here to discuss older series, artists, styles, and the evolution of manga in general. Feel free to list favorites, both authors and artists, but please: no long list of links to Manga Editors or online readers. Linking to entries at mangaupdates is fine, considering the amount of information that site provides linking there it is preferable anyway, if one is so inclined to provide links. Discussion of all demographics is welcome.
Tatsumi Yoshihio: Pioneering artist, one of the founders of the gekiga movement in the late 50's. Tatsumi and his cohorts introduced gritty realism, violence, and sex into Japanese comics. His masterful biography, in comic form, a Drifting Life was released in America last year. Three collections: the Push Man, Good Bye, and Abandon the Old in Tokyo collect stories originally published in the legendary anthology Garo.
Miyazaki Hayao: Best known as an animator, Miyazaki is also a brilliant mangaka, basing the anime of Nausicaa off one of his own works. A cliche to mention but often sited as one of the greatest manga ever made. Hox scanlated his barely known Sabuka no Tami. Written in the late 60's for a children's publication, Sabuka is a fascinating read, pushing the boundary of how manga is read and what it looks like
