Mangaka Atsushi Kaneko (Bambi and Her Pink Gun, Deathco, Soil, Evol) joins Dave to discuss Search and Destroy, his modern tribute to Osamu Tezuka's Dororo, published by Fantagraphics. Kaneko shares how Sex Pistols and Stanley Kubrick shaped his teenage years, discovering Daniel Clowes and Charles Burns via Iggy Pop during Japan's lowbrow art boom, and the records that still inspire his work—from The Cramps to Public Image Limited. He explains his shift to digital art, why he's been asked "why are you so angry?" his entire life, and teases two English-language projects in the works.Thank you to Aki Yanagi for translating!directeditionpodcast.comhttps://www.patreon.com/davengersdirecteditionhttps://www.fantagraphics.com/collections/atsushi-kaneko?srsltid=AfmBOophR-PL5cfY0RNXxgFrOYRY6C_0G519Sz7fglu2V95iuusP9b9w
