Funeral Merchant | Bullet Tarō | Yoshihiro Tatsumi | pgs. 79>81

3 consecutive pages from Funeral Merchant published in the Bullet Tarō series in 1962, a pivotal period in Tatsumi’s career. Tatsumi had already established himself as one of the main mangaka of the gekiga movement, yet his later ultra-minimalist and psychologically oppressive style had not yet fully emerged. Funeral Merchant retains the feel of pulpy action storytelling, a noir-inspired atmosphere, cinematic pacing, and the raw energy of the gekiga boom.
