On a remote and mysterious island, one man builds a playground of hedonistic excess - replete with waterfalls, grand palaces, and gardens - a backdrop for his decadent feasts, orgies, and dark secrets. Set in 1920s Japan, The Strange Tale of Panorama Island follows the twisted path of failed novelist Hitomi, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the son of a rich industrialist family. Hitomi learns of the rich man's sudden passing and creates a desperate plan. He fakes his own death, digs up and hides the other man's body, and then washes himself up starving on a beach near the home of the dead man's family. After successfully impersonating the now-dead son, Hitomi takes over all aspects of the industrialist's life, including his company, his fortune, and eventually his wife. The failed author soon redirects the family's wealth to his own perverse aims. A graphic novel based on the revered novella by Edogawa Rampo. Rampo was the godfather of Japanese pulp mysteries. Stunning artwork by master manga artist Suehiro Maruo deftly illustrates this Japanese pulp classic in fine detail. * 13th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for New Artist

Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show

Literature & Fiction

Blast Books

With influences ranging from 19th century atrocity prints to the Sex Pistols, and obsessions with horror, scatology and human freaks, Maruo has taken the "erotic-grotesque" (ero-guro) style of manga, a unique fusion of sex and violence to its ultimate extreme.??Ultra-Gash Inferno is the ultimate compendium of Suehiro Maruo's most shocking and graphically precise work, containing nine psycho-nightmares never before translated and published in English. With a translation by James Havoc (author of Butchershop In The Sky) and Takako Shinkado, and an introduction by Romain Slocombe, Ultra-Gash Inferno is a revelatory cross-cultural event in comic-book publishing.??Suehiro Maruo is also the author of Camelia Girl (published in English as Mr Arashi's Amazing Freak Show).??Parental discretion advised.??

LEZARD NOIR

Dans ce recueil de nouvelles datant de la fin des années 1980, Maruo s’en donne à cœur joie en explorant autant que possible les limites de la provocation. Il réécrit ainsi l’histoire en imaginant un monde où le Japon aurait vaincu les États-Unis en 1945, et parodie avec humour une légendaire chanteuse populaire japonaise des années 1970, devenue une lycéenne diabolique semant la terreur partout où elle passe. L'auteur virtuose pousse l’abstraction encore plus loin que dans ses autres livres, et parvient avec ce manga eroguro particulièrement dérangeant à effacer les frontières entre cauchemar et réalité

New national kid

Docteur inugami

Réédition attendue dans une nouvelle édition reliée du dyptique culte de Maruo.Le Vampyre (The Laughing Vampire 2000), première partie, raconte la transformation d’une femme en vampire dans le Japon dévasté de l’immédiat aprèsguerre puis, la contamination d’un adolescent, sous forme de chronique sociale, dans le Japon contemporain. Maruo observe le monde comme au travers de toiles d’araignée, et organise son petit théâtre des horreurs. On retrouve les personnages et les mises en scène favorites du maître de l’éro-guro organisées comme dans un opéra. Lycéens et clown se révèlent plus pervers que des vampires (prédateurs) auxquels il attribue le rôle de victimes et de justiciers.
