(comment) "Great Excavation" is an illustration of a factory worker who is a character in the included story "River of Murder," and "Great Discovery" is an illustration of the factory worker protagonist from "Dear Monkey," which also appears on the cover. Yoshihiro Tatsumi, who was born in Tennoji, Osaka, was most skilled at drawing men with the everyday, mid-Sh Showa-period sensibility shown in this illustration. (Iijima)
