Uzumaki by Junji Ito

brr...had to say that, didn't you?
thanks for checking out the link Chris. i really love Junji Ito's work. the characters look harried & have dark circles under their eyes, & particularly intense the way the eyeballs are drawn at times. very intelligent storylines.

Re: Uzumaki by Junji Ito
I agree re: Junji Ito. If I return to the site you posted, will I be able to follow the story?
Didn't mean to suggest you suffer from the same affliction. Not at all...but stay away from that circular, bone crushing thingie, just in case...
