Description from the seller
井上… wait, we must translate properly. Let me compose in Japanese:
小沢… stop. Sorry. I will translate the given English text to Japanese faithfully.
俊逸で exceptionally large original page by Jiro Kuwata (1935–2020) from Shōnen Jupiter (少年ジュピター), published in Bessatsu Shōnen King in 1965.
A great action page featuring Jupiter prominently throughout, dodging gunfire and fighting with his sword. The clean black-and-white linework, dynamic movement and cinematic panel composition are classic Kuwata and show the style that made him one of Japan's leading science-fiction and superhero manga artists of the 1960s.
Size: 27.2 x 39 cm
Media: pencil & ink on drawing paper
Condition: Very Good
Shortly after Shōnen Jupiter, Kuwata was chosen to draw the official Japanese manga adaptation of DC Comics' Batman, today internationally famous as Batmanga. Kuwata transformed Batman and Robin through the visual language of 1960s manga, creating his own villains, machines and science-fiction concepts rather than simply copying the American comic.
Shōnen Jupiter therefore comes from an important moment in Kuwata's career, positioned between the success of 8 Man and his Japanese Batman. This original page is an excellent example of the energetic SF action style that made Kuwata one of the distinctive figures of postwar Japanese manga.
