Good Bye in Stores Now.


It may be too early to make such a declaration, but it seems from various press reports that Tatsumi's third collection, Good-Bye, is striking a chord and is many people's favorite volume of the three.

Popmatters weighs in with a review, as did the smartest critic in comics who said [Good Bye] is a stunning crystallization of positive elements from the previous reprints into powerful, seamless comics.

Publishers Weekly gave the book a starred review and said Tatsumi's art is masterful: he switches art styles from cartoony manga to stark realism with ease and is equally adept at depicting graceful motion, grisly suffering and complicated emotion.

Japan's leading English-language newspaper Daily Yomiuri states: and frustration are major preoccupations. Not only do his characters suffer loneliness and physical hardship, but they are usually bereft of purpose and have their pride trampled into the dirt before their stories are over. There's no point in reading such depressing stuff unless it is done very well. And Tatsumi does it excellently.

What's next for Tatsumi? Oh, just an 840-page autobiographical hardcover titled A Drifting Life due out next Spring. More on that later....
