Showa Showcase

A selection of manga, gekiga, and scuzzy true story magazines from the late 60s/early 70s. It would be a shame if so much weird and unique manga was lost in their pages, consigned to history with no real hope of seeing the light of day ever again.

However, using the orphan copyright system to licence many obscure works, these works are available again!

Ten stories picked from various magazines which best represented the widest breadth of this weird era - all totally unique and totally crazy!
