(comment) Original art for the cover of No.8 of Japan's first bizarre manga magazine "Black Ace", edited and published by Bontentaro himself. Bontentaro, who is known as a revolutionary figure in modern tattooing, has been active not only in traditional Japanese carvings and tattoos, but also in body painting as an expressive activity that draws pictures on human skin. The psychedelic pattern expressed in this picture in 1970 can be said to be too early in the world. Fifty years ago, Bontentaro planned to publish a tattoo magazine from his company. However, it did not materialize and landed in the form of a bizarre manga magazine. Issued from September 1969 to June 1970, with only 10 volumes and discontinued. It is not held by holding institutions such as the National Diet Library. "Black Ace" was extremely popular at the Mandarake Auction, and the 10th issue, which had been suspended, was sold at a high price of 190,000 yen.
