Alert! Daily Marvel Event teases NEW event: Inhumans: Attilan Rising

Another day another Marvel event teaser, but this one is DIFFERENT.

BUT the important thing is that he compares and contrasts Yoshihiro Tatsumi, who is kind of credited as the father of "gekiga" or realistic manga, with Matsumoto Masahiko, a figure who appears in Tatsumi's autobiographical A Drifting Life under another name. Masahiko's work went down a slightly different path than Tatsumi's but Holmberg shows that it was equally important:
