Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

Legendary horror artist makes a manga about his daily life with his pet cats.





Ancient Roman architect who has hit a creative block time travels to modern Japan and uses what he learns from the public bathing culture to revolutionize his designs for the bath houses of Rome.




Animation legend Hayao Miyazaki tells the story of anthropomorphic pigs crewing a German Tiger tank on the Eastern Front of WW2.




Music school graduate sees a sad girl standing barefoot in the snow. Somehow this leads to him becoming a world-class competitive PC overclocker.

We had several issues of this and a related comic called, I think, Megalith. They were all very gross and bloody and I probably should not have been reading them at 6.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else reference their existence.

In second grade a classmate, John Anderson, brought in some of his older brother’s “cool” comics.

They were William F Gaines pre-code horror pieces, probably Creepy or Eerie.

I remember the place, time and the classmate because holy poo poo they were full of anatomically accurate rotted, animated corpses and gore as graphic as anything I have ever seen ever, in my 61-years and they nearly made me physically ill right then & there. How I didn’t hurl remains a mystery.

And here I just got through the second arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, which so far has been virtually nothing but lurid, grody, and ridiculous violence that I almost certainly would have eaten up in 6th or 7th grade.

Jojo was running in Shonen Jump at the time, right next to Dragon Ball :v:

Didn't move to a seinen magazine until part 7, when it moved to a monthly schedule.

Yep, it reminded me a lot of Mortal Kombat I or II, or a Mars Attacks! card. The violence is graphic, but also incredibly childish.

Oddly enough, what Hirohiko Araki's early style reminds me of more than anything is, if anything, Rob Liefeld. He has that same energy of beefy guys, improbable poses, barely existent perspective, nonstop intensity... It's just that from what I can tell, Araki's grown massively as an artist since then.

Welcome Back, Galaxy Geek.
So Spy x Family volume 11 dropped this week and while I always get a kick out of the gags Endo puts at the end of the book, I really got a kick out of this one (read right to left):


For reference, the cover of each volume of Spy x Family features a member of the cast sitting in some sort of mid-century modern style chair, and these two are fairly minor characters.
