Nekojiru

Evan here. Thought I'd take a moment to tell you about something great I found while shopping for comics in Berkeley the other day...



SAKE JOCK

If you liked "Secret Comics Japan" or "Comics Underground Japan", you'd like this. It was published in 1995 by Fantagraphics Books, and features bizarres short stories by Imiri Sakabashira, Naoto Yamakawa, Kiriko Nananan, Nekojiru, Yasuji Tanioka, Yoshiharu Mitsumoto, and Naoki & Shunichi Karasawa.



You may recognize Nekojiru's work from Comic's Underground Japan, but did you know that there's an OVA movie out for her comics? My girlfriend pointed this out to me the other day. Man, I'm out of the loop... Click here for more info on that...



Oh, and by the way, if you want to read some of her comics online (in Japanese), click here.

foetus in foeto

We'll be posting a new comic soon (today or tomorrow), but had to post this thing that was on BoingBoing earlier today. It's SO BODY HORROR and HORROR MANGA-esque, I wanted to share it. Can anyone say, Dr. Bloodmoney? Also, didn't Blackjack have to deal with this once with Pinoko?



Doctors 'find dead foetus in boy'

Doctors in Bangladesh say they have removed a long-dead foetus from the abdomen of a teenage boy who was complaining of stomach pains.
