COMICばく [Comic Exposure]

A short-lived but visually distinctive 1980s anthology from Nihon Bungeisha, Comic Exposure ran for fifteen issues between 1984 and 1986. The series is most associated with the elegant, nostalgic artwork of illustrator 林静一 (Seiichi Hayashi), whose frequent contributions lent the book a refined, painterly feel. Though brief, it stands as a curated snapshot of alternative manga during a fertile period in Japanese comics publishing.
