Product Description 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.?? About the Author Suehiro Maruo is a Japanese manga artist, illustrator, and painter. Many of Maruo's illustrations depict graphic sex and violence and are therefore referred to as contemporary muzan-e (a subset of Japanese ukiyo-e depicting violence or other atrocities.) Maruo's nightmarish manga fall into the Japanese category of "erotic grotesque" ("ero-guro"). The stories often take place in the early years of Showa Era Japan.
