FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Publicist, Living the Line Visionary Cartoonist Yokoyama Yuichi is Back with PLAZA, a Maniacal Manga Extravaganza! Art and literature historians of the future will be flabbergasted that Yokoyama Yuichi existed in our time. He is a visionary on the level of William Blake. PLAZA is a parade of invention, set to the beat of turning pages. "PLAZA is the purest expression yet of Yokoyama's unmatched style. A circus for the eyes, this book is a magic trick disguised as a graphic novel, one that reminds us of the medium's limitless power." A dazzling sensory barrage of speeding lines and swoops! Witness the torrent of joyous spectacle, the inner workings of a cosmic parade machine! Living the Line Books is proud to present the latest from avant-garde manga artist Yokoyama Yuichi, the stunning PLAZA, coming to book stores and comic shops internationally in September of 2022. Bigger, bolder, and louder than ever before, neo-manga artist Yokoyama Yuichi is back with PLAZA! Inspired by Carnaval in Brazil, PLAZA offers a maniacal extravaganza of marching, dancing, leaping, firing, cheering, smashing, and exploding over the course of 225 eye-and-eardrum-confounding pages. Originally published in Japan in 2019, this oversize English edition of PLAZA brings to full, hyper-animated life the spectacular graphic art of this genre-defying work of avant-garde comics. Yokoyama Yuichi is Japan's leading creator of avant-garde comics. Born in 1967, he studied painting in art school, then turned to manga in the late 1990s. Characterized by modernist abstraction, sparse dialogue, oversize sound effects, obsessive movement and speed, and a wry sense of humor, Yokoyama's "neo-manga" cross the boundary between art and comics. Among his many books are New Engineering (2004), Travel (2006), Garden (2007), Outdoors (2009), Baby Boom (2009), World Map Room (2013), Iceland (2016), and Plaza (2019). His works have been extensively translated, and have featured in museum exhibitions in Japan and around the world. He has been nominated for an Eisner award, and is a two-time LA Times Book Prize finalist. This English-language edition of PLAZA, translated by noted manga scholar Ryan Holmberg, also includes the most extended and informative interview with the artist to date. PLAZA will be available internationally through Diamond Comics, Diamond UK, and Diamond Book Distribution. Art samples and preview PDFs for PLAZA are available upon request. |

Hey Matt,
Rolly usually sends me a complete list of the AV inventory every few months. Last time he checked there were 1140 COLLECTED LETTERS 2004, 13 ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SP, and 12 CEREBUS GUIDE TO SP
Hi Matt. We thought this might be something you'd want to post on AMOC and the Facebooks.
So Sean, Dave and I have been quickly coordinating with getting useable hi-rez scans of upcoming CEREBUS artwork for sale from a particularly prominent High-End Auction Site, and we have a fan of the work who is willing to actually go to the site and do the scanning for us (for which we are ALL VERY GRATEFUL), since the auction house doesn’t do hi-rez scanning on behalf of others.
However, this does involve buying and shipping a new Sean Robinson approved scanner that can be used for this situation and whenever it arises in the future when more artwork comes on the market through the site.
Total cost of the scanner plus shipping was $1,022. So anyone who wants to chip in and help defray the costs to AV, feel free to help by Paypalling Sean through seanmichaelrobinson@gmail.com and be sure to click on “Friends and Family”, and AV will reimburse for the remainder.
So far we have $600 (!) donated towards the scanner. If we somehow get more than required, the extra money will go towards payment of our volunteer’s expenses and time.
