Cover - published in Bokura mangazine - 1964
size : 27,2 x 37,2 cm
Very good condition
Takaharu Kusunoki embodied the versatility of early manga's golden age. Starting as Jiro Kuwata's assistant in 1955, he uniquely straddled both manga creation and animation production during Japan's visual media revolution.
His dual mastery is exemplified by his work on 8 Man, producing the main animation while managing the manga version of Yusei Kamen (1966), his acknowledged masterpiece. His prolific output included Crimson Zero Sentai (1957), Moonlight Mask (Shonen Club, 1960-61), Atomic Goro (1963-64), and the final 8 Man episode (1965).
Working primarily for Kodansha's flagship magazines, Kusunoki helped establish superhero and science fiction conventions in Japanese media. His art style bridged early manga aesthetics with emerging animation techniques, the stylistic similarity between Atomic Goro and the 8 Man anime demonstrates this cross-pollination.
