Yomiuri Sunday Manga February 8, 1931
So excited with this acquisition of 40 issues of Yomiuri Sandē Manga 讀賣サンデー漫画 from 1930-31!! Not widely held at all — National Diet Library lists one issue http://iss.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000002-I025061947-00
As explained in this brief survey of newspaper manga (Newspark), after Jiji Manga (of which Ohio State has an almost complete set (1921-31) (+ 1927 issues) — and which we have started indexing on the wiki), Yomiuri Sandē Manga was one of the most successful pre-World War II manga publications. Cartoonists who published in Yomiuri Sandē Manga included:
- Asō, Yutaka 麻生豊 (1898-1961)
- Ikeda Eiji 池田永治 (1889-1950)
- Maekawa Senpan 前川千帆 (1888-1960)
- Saeki Yoneko 佐伯米子 (1903-1972)
- Shimokawa, Hekoten 下川凹天 (1892-1973) (alternate romanization: Shimokawa, Oten )
- Shishido, Sakō 宍戸左行 (1888-1969)
- Tanaka, Hisara 田中比左良 (1890-1974)
- Togo Seiji 東鄉青児 (1897-1978)
- Yanase, Masamu 柳瀬正夢 (1900-1945), whose complete works we are currently receiving.
