Alex Eklund Reviews Cheat Sheets by Tiger Tateishi Synopsis: Tora No Maki (original name of Cheat Sheets ) is a rare gem of comic art by Tiger Tateishi, a Japanese artist who lived and worked in Milan in the 1970s. The book collects his short, silent stories that combine humor, formal experimentation, and Buddhist philosophy. Tateishi was influenced by MAD Magazine, but also by the design and architecture of Ettore Sottsass, whom he assisted at Olivetti. His comics are full of visual puns, optical illusions, and surreal transformations that challenge the perception of reality. Tora No Maki was first published in Japan in 1982, after Penguin Books in London rejected it. It is now available in a new edition that showcases Tateishi's playful and inventive style.
