(comment) Yoshiharu Tsuge's "Mimicry" (1 page) and "My Invention" (1 panel) can be read in their entirety in Kodansha's "Yoshiharu Tsuge Complete Works," but it is incomplete, with errors in the initial publication information. This shows that Houbunsha's "Tsuukai Book," where he mainly worked during his debut period, was a magazine with a very small circulation. This time, we do not have the issue in which debut work was published, but we have gathered many magazines from the early 1950s, the period when he used his so-called "hiragana name." From 1956, he moved from Houbunsha to Akita Shoten, and in 1958, his first serialized work, "The Adventures of Funamushi Kozou," was published in Kodansha's "Bokura." Please enjoy his magazine works from before Garo, along with the other serialized artists of the time. He has been active since 1954, the same year as Godzilla (Kazuhiko Takahashi).
