I’m the Craig Revell-Horwood of comic book reviewing. He found the end pretty unfulfilling and abrupt.Īs with Jake, Tom found that the short ‘backup’ stories provided more enjoyment than the main event, likening them to the classic 2000AD Tharg’s Future Shocks. In fact he described it as ‘bordering on laughable’ rounding particularly on the bio-mechanical shark that forms one of the main set pieces in the first volume.
– wasn’t a big fan of the main storyline, feeling that it wasn’t horrific or scary at all. He was much more of a fan of the short stories after the main story feeling that they were much darker and more engaging than the main storyline. Jake also commented on the apparent horror derived from the mundane items such as plastic bags and gastro-intestinal upset. In general he enjoyed the book but found the characterisation wooden and the leads hard to relate to. Jake had read some manga previously but came into The Death Stench Creeps with no real idea of what awaited him. With this in mind there may be spoilers ahead :-) Jake This write-up assumes knowledge of both volumes. The other two purchased the 2nd volume after completing the 1st. However 2 out of 4 of us elected to purchase the 2 volume hardback edition. I initially suggested we read volume 1 only. JUNJI ITO, undisputed master of horror in Japan (along with Hino and Tsubaki) and our collaborator in SILENT HILL (S) /D9ypKBhVk5- Guillermo del Toro September 27, 2015 In the article Del Toro referred to The Death Stench Creeps author and artist Junji Ito as a master of Japanese horror. Whilst hunting for inspiration I stumbled upon an article on on Guillermo Del Toro’s aborted Silent Hill film. We’d mainly stuck with American publishers with a solitary, brief visit to Europe way back in July. I was looking for something a bit different to what had been covered so far.
As Christmas creeps ever closer I felt The Comic Book Club needed an injection of something a little more… grotesque to balance out all this goodwill to all men stuff.
