Tråd: Manga Horror mesteren Hideshi Hino
Vi fik en masse Hideshi Hino gyser paperbacks for en del år siden, men så pludselig tørrede udgivelses strømmen ind efter ca. 14 bøger, og det er jo en skam; men her er et lille interview med den farlige manga tegner:

The Hideshi Hino Interview
by Tomo Machiyama
trimmed from The Comics Journal 2005 Special Edition
Panel from Kyôfu Zigoku-shôjo (Hell Baby) © 2005 DH Publishing Inc.
Korean-Japanese journalist and film critic Tomohiro Machiyama caught up with Hideshi Hino in 2004 as the ambitious Hino Horror series shifted into high gear, with nearly a dozen English-language translations of his greatest works released in just one year. The following interview covers Hino's life and work in manga, recent and ancient Japanese history, his family's connections to the Yakuza, and the notoriety surrounding his work on the Japanese horror film, Guinea Pig.

Og en stor guide til Hideshi Hinos univers på denne blog:

Here's our man, manga artist, filmmaker and swordplay aficionado Hideshi Hino. He is a living legend of Japanese horror fiction, manga in particular. Here we see him dressed as every comics artist is at some point, often on the day their spouse decides to leave them, but Hino belongs in such garb.
Trouble, as you might suspect, runs through his blood.
