Shigeru Sugiura (杉浦 茂, Sugiura Shigeru, 3 April 1908 – 23 April 2000) was a Japanese manga artist famous for his surreal, nonsense gag manga.
Career
After initially studying painting, Sugiura became an assistant to the manga artist
absurd. A craftsman, Sugiura could not keep up with the mass production of manga that the shift to weekly magazines brought at the end of the 1950s,[4] and his subsequent manga became more and more surreal, if not avant-garde, as they came to be directed at an older audience. He enjoyed a second boom in popularity from the 1970s on.[4]
