Dare to read the psycho—horror classic that horror manga master Ito Junji called a “frightening but moving story about an unfortunate individual who¸ lost in search of his true self¸ finds his own annihilation instead.” Little Tetsuo is a wimpy mess. His parents don’t love him. He meets the beautiful Kimiko¸ an ailing teenage girl obsessed with movies and mayhem in equal amounts. She doesn’t love Tetsuo either¸ or anyone other than herself. But she needs him. So Tetsuo becomes the man she wants—the monster she wants. He becomes HER FRANKENSTEIN! Originally published in 1986¸ Kawashima Norikazu’s HER FRANKENSTEIN marks the bizarre and sadomasochistic finale to a cult era in Japanese horror comics. A few years after it was published¸ the author burned all of his artwork and abandoned Tokyo¸ never to be heard from again! HER FRANKENSTEIN is the inaugural volume of SMUDGE¸ a line of pulp¸ horror¸ and dark mystery manga¸ curated and translated into English by award—winning historian Ryan Holmberg.
