Red Red Rock and other stories 1967-1970, a career-spanning collection of comics by Hayashi Seiichi, one of Japan’s best known alternative cartoonists, is available now from our online store.

As ever, the translation comes courtesy of Ryan Holmberg, who also has an extensive essay in the book, along with almost 250 pages of work by the great Hayashi Seiichi.

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