Taken from Michael DeForge s Heaven No Hell
CANADIAN cartoonist Michael DeForge is one of the most original and productive comic creators working today. Since he started publishing his own comics some 14 years ago, his output has been prodigious and singular.
DeForge’s work exploits the possibilities and elasticity of the comic book form. His image-making often mixes up anthropomorphism with comic-book surrealism. “I generally want my comics to feel like dreams,” he once said.
And yet his stories are underpinned with a real concern with culture and politics while playing with media-saturated alternative realities.
His latest book Heaven No Hell is a collection of short stories that show the range of his work and the originality of his ideas.

A crane framed by a moonlit windowsill. A family hike, and the arguments and nihilism that ensue. A poet dissolving into the mist.
These are some of the moments that make up “The Man Without Talent,” a compelling work from one of Japan’s masters of literary manga, Yoshiharu Tsuge. With the release of “The Swamp” last year, and “The Man Without Talent” in January (both translated by Ryan Holmberg), Tsuge is finally coming alive for English readers.

NEW YORK REVIEW COMICS
“The Man Without Talent” explores the daily life, meditations and human interactions of Tsuge’s cartoon stand-in, Sukezo Sukegawa, as he attempts to support his family through selling stones, fixing up broken cameras and any other endeavor that seems destined to fail.
