TOMIE - JUNJI ITO - Intégrale - Nouvelle édition

Tomie Kawakami is evil incarnate. Recognizable among a thousand thanks to her long hair and the beauty mark under her left eye, she stirs up the passions of all the men who cross her path. Her victims, torn between love and madness, sink little by little until they commit the unspeakable and murder her in atrocious circumstances. But the world can never get rid of Tomie. Worse, his power grows inexorably with each of his rebirths.

Foreword by Alexandre Aja (The Hill Has Eyes, Crawl, High Tension, Horns, etc.).

New translation, new lettering and subtitled Japanese onomatopoeia.

Unpublished 6-page analysis at the end of the book.

Undisputed master of world horror, Junji Ito is also one of the greatest mangakas of all time. Born in 1963 in the Gifu prefecture, he became a dentist and produced his first masterpiece, Tomie, in parallel to his life in the office. Inspired by his contemporaries Kazuo Umezzu and Stephen King, he finally decided to become a full-time mangaka and produced a series of stories, each more remarkable and varied than the last, and is still active today after a career spanning over 30 years. Unanimously recognised as the standard-bearer of Japanese horror, he benefits from the particular interest of a new, younger public, eager to discover the complex and deeply unique universe of the man who claims to be a giant like Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Adapted many times in animation and in live action, Junji Ito is much more than a phenomenon, he is total horror.
