World's first graphic novel dedicated to Katsushika Hokusai to be released

The world’s first graphic novel dedicated to Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (Edo, 1760 - 1849) will be released on April 1, 2021. Published by Laurence King Publishing, it was created by Giuseppe Latanza and Francesco Matteuzzi.

The illustrated volume will immerse readers in the artist’s life story and his most iconic works, including the celebrated Great Wave. It will uncover fascinating trivia about the historical context of the Edo period and provide an understanding of how Hokusai created an image of Japan that is still known around the world today.

From his earliest works to his most famous ones, through his extraordinarily productive artistic activity and his somewhat eccentric life.

Hokusai: A Graphic Biography joins two other volumes devoted to as many artists: Basquiat. A Graphic Novel realized by Paolo Parisi and Pollock Confidential. A Graphic Novel realized by Onofrio Catacchio.

Hokusai: A Graphic Biography is available from April 2021 at laurenceking.com .
