Da nota de imprensa:
A headless busty blonde, a face-stealing psychopath, a sleazy serial-killer sculptor, a horny handsome hunchback, a vengeful caterpillar cuckold, a torturous hangover in the pits of hell.
Welcome to the raunchy and gristly world of FACE MEAT, from the imagination of outlaw polymath Bonten Taro, ex-kamikaze, ex-yakuza, singer, songwriter, actor, world-famous tattooist and underappreciated pioneer of “pinky violence” femme fatales and adult horror manga. While Mizuki Shigeru and Umezz Kazuo were paving the way for horror in shonen and shojo magazines in the 1960s, Bonten was doing the same in erotic men’s rags, and the results are as trashy as you’d expect. With an 20 page essay by Bonten booster and B-gekiga expert Kunisawa Hiroshi, FACE MEAT includes fourteen hair raising stories that have never before been assembled under a single cover in any language.
FACE MEAT is the fourth volume of SMUDGE, a line of vintage horror, occult, and dark fantasy manga, curated and translated by award-winning historian Ryan Holmberg.
