Created in the late 1950s, Black Blizzard is Yoshihiro Tatsumi's remarkable first full-length graphic novel and one of the first published examples of Gekiga.

The Story:

  • Susumu Yamaji, a twenty four year old pianist, is arrested for murder and ends up handcuffed to a career criminal on a train bound for prison.

  • When an avalanche derails the train, the criminal takes the opportunity to escape, dragging a reluctant Susumu into the blizzard raging outside.

  • The pair flee into the mountains to take shelter in an abandoned ranger station, where Susumu relates the tragic story that led him to become a murderer.

Black Blizzard is a cinematic adventure story that uncovers an unlikely love story and an even unlikelier friendship.
