210 pages.
Cover by Teruhiko Yumura
Garo (November 1983, Issue No. 235) was published by Seirindo on November 1, 1983. The cover illustration was created by Teruhiko Yumura, whose signature visual style anchored the magazine's vibrant 1983 design identity. The editor and publisher at the time was Katsuichi Nagai.
Founded in 1964, Garo became one of Japan's most influential magazines for alternative comics, underground culture, and avant-garde artistic expression. This issue is particularly notable for capturing the magazine's transition toward the "Heta-uma" (bad-yet-good) punk-pop aesthetic of the 1980s, featuring unconventional works by creators such as Yoshikazu Ebisu and Takashi Nemoto that reflected its enduring role as a platform for experimental voices in Japanese manga and subculture.
