More Description A classic character of Japanese literature is reimagined as a mischievous, shapeshifting adventurer in this zany, Pop Art-flavored gag manga by a titan of the genre.
Ninja! Samurai! Cowboys! Aliens! Amoebas! Join Japan's favorite ninja, Sarutobi Sasuke, on this psychedelic romp across a land beyond time by the legendary manga author and Pop Art pioneer Sugiura Shigeru.
In this 1969 take on the beloved ninja, the carefree young Sasuke pranks his way through a radically reimagined old Japan, opening wormholes to America's Wild West and outer space as he goes. This wild adventure overflows with eye-popping sights- UFOs, absurd monsters, Hollywood stars, gun-toting outlaws, submarines, towering mushroom clouds, and much more.
Available for the first time in English and with an essay by Ryan Holmberg, Ninja Sarutobi Sasuke is a must-read for its trippy visuals and outrageous storytelling.
