Hace unos años leí un artículo en el que se citaba que las veces en las que se había puesto de moda el terror, coincidían (y se adelantaban en muchas ocasiones) a las grandes convulsiones sociales: el crack del 29 (King Kong, Frankenstein, Freaks...), la ascensión del nazismo (el cine expresionista alemán), la aparición de revistas como Creepy, Eerie (la crisis del petróleo de 1973), etc... Pues bien, desde hace unos años estamos en medio de un resurgir del género, y precisamente debido al Japón. El cine, que siempre ha ido por delante del cómic cuando debería de ser al revés, ha ido marcando las pautas a nivel masivo. Pero los grandes creadores cinematográficos siempre han estado mirando de reojo a los más interesantes autores de historietas gráficas. Como es bien sabido, el Japón es una gigantesca maquinaria de fabricar mangas de todo tipo. Y hay obras de terror que se venden a millones y hay otras, más personales y experimentales, que llegan sólo a unas decenas de miles de lectores. En este último apartado hay dos autores fundamentales: el muy experimental Suehiro Maruo (varias obras editadas en España por Ediciones Glénat, sin lograr unas ventas destacadas),e Hideshi Hino, cuyas obras nos han llegado a través de Ediciones La Cúpula. La obra El género del terror suele moverse dentro de tres grandes corrientes o grupos: el terror provocado por una situación (Los Pájaros, de Hitchcock), el terror provocado por los sustos (hay miles de ejemplos de esto) y el terror provocado por la sensación de repulsión (y que suele basarse en la exhibición de vísceras, casquería y menudillos en general). En el mundo de las historietas, la segunda categoría suele ser muy poco utilizada pues el propio medio impone unos condicionantes que dificultan mucho la inclusión de sustos que resulten efectivos para el lector. La simple contemplación de la portada, de un estilo descaradamente “feísta” ya nos indica que el autor se desplaza por el camino del “terror de repulsión”. Con una historia claramente inspirada, que no basada, en “La Metamorfosis” de Kafka, el autor nos presenta a un personaje que se va volviendo repulsivo físicamente, a la vez que nos lo presenta de una forma que va creando una simpatía del lector hacia el pobre niño por todos marginado. Historia pues, en la que desde el guión se nos plantea un pulso a los lectores. Y también desde el dibujo, pues todos los personajes son tratados gráficamente de una forma humorística. Historieta también en la que se nos plantea, a modo de parábola, una reflexión sobre la sociedad y las relaciones con los que son diferentes. El autor Aunque en la solapa del libro se ofrece una biografía del autor, digamos que sus intereses se han movido siempre entre el cine y el cómic, pero considerados como vehículos para expresar las historias que lleva dentro. En el campo del cine ha dirigido dos episodios de la serie “Gini Piggu” (En inglés “Guinea Pig”, que se debe de traducir como “Conejillos de Indias”) y que se trata de unas películas de culto de finales de los ochenta, dentro del género de terror. En lo que va de siglo ha escrito guiones para media docena de películas basadas en sus mangas. Su vida no fue fácil. Nieto de un yakuza, nacido en la China, justo en el momento en que se perdía la guerra, su familia hubo de huir al Japón estando en varias ocasiones a punto de ser asesinados. 1 Sus comienzos en el campo de la historieta se produjeron en la revista experimental COM que su editor, Osamu Tezuka, utilizaba para descubrir nuevos talentos. A continuación saltó a la revista GARO, donde publicaban sus historias, entre otros muchos, Yoshihiro Tatsumi (el primer mangaka editado en España de la mano de Ediciones La Cúpula), Sampei Shirato (creador de la saga histórica Kamui, que fue una de las primeras serie de manga editadas en España en los años 90), o Suehiro Maruo al que hemos citado anteriormente. Y a partir de ahí se dedicó a crear sus propias novelas gráficas para diferentes editoriales. Entre sus aficiones, además de vestir al estilo japonés clásico, figura el coleccionar katanas y practicar algunas artes marciales no muy conocidas. A tener en cuenta El autor, al que gusta vestir a la usanza japonesa, visitó el Salón del Manga del año 2006, firmando ejemplares, participando en diversas actividades culturales y mostrándose como una persona amable y bondadosa... que chocaba con la imagen que transmite a través de sus obras. Aunque el niño se haya transformado en gusano venenoso, en los textos se le llama “niño” (en lugar de “gusano”, que sería mas apropiado) ya que el nombre favorece la pena que el lector debe de sentir por el niño-gusano. Bibliografía de Hideshi Hino: Todas las obras han sido editadas por Ediciones La Cúpula. El niño gusano - 2005 La serpiente roja - 2005 Panorama infernal - 2006 El hombre cadáver - 2006 La extraña enfermedad de Zoroku - 2007 Criatura maldita - 2007 El Hijo del Diablo - 2008 Onimbo - 2008 Galería de horrores - 2009 Las noches de Zipango - 2009 Totes les obres subratllades les podreu trobar a les biblioteques de L’Hospitalet (la resta, properament). També hi trobareu les següents obres, dels autors mencionats pel JuanJo en el seu article: • Kamui, la leyenda, de Sanpei Shirato (a la Tecla hi tenim quatre dels cinc volums de la saga). • Dr Inugami, de Suehiro Maruo. • La extraña historia de la isla Panorama, de Suehiro Maruo. • Lunatic lover’s, de Suehiro Maruo. • Midori, la niña de las camelias, de Suehiro Maruo. • El monstruo de color de rosa, de Suehiro Maruo. • La sonrisa del vampiro (2 vol.), de Suehiro Maruo. 2 El Niño Gusano / Hideshi Hino Manuel Barrero A la revista web sobre historieta, Tebeosfera (http://www.tebeosfera.com/portada.php) hi trobareu penjada aquesta ressenya de El Niño Gusano: El niño gusano, de Hideshi Hino, no alcanza a ser la obra redonda que es La serpiente roja (reseñada recientemente en este mismo blog: http://tebeosfera.blogspot.com/2005/09/la-serpiente-roja-de-h-hino-la-cpula.html), pero sin duda es uno de esos tebeos de horror que deben recomendarse hoy porque visitan miedos que no resultan tan manidos como los vampiros o los zombies de Steve Niles, que pretenden vendernos como una suerte de recuperación de la excelencia. No es que en Japón se sientan distintos temores, es que se interpretan -y se narran- de modo diferente. Los vampiros de los cuentos chinos y japoneses atemorizan tanto por su dentellada y su arañazo como por lo que implican de usurpación de la identidad y de desposesión de la dignidad del humano. Su presencia, la de estos monstruos, en pantalla o en historieta difiere claramente de la occidental; su maldad es palmaria, sus motivaciones y su conducta es, sin embargo, más compleja. Hallamos lo mismo en el caso de Hino y su niño gusano. Se trata, sí, de la vuelta al mito de Calibán, al deforme que es ridiculizado e ignorado y que, oh paradoja, acaba devorando a sus semejantes (lo paradójico viene a cuento porque en La Tempestad, Shakespeare creó a Calibán como un anagrama de "caníbal"). De nuevo acude Hino a los miedos infantiles que, no nos engañemos, son siempre los más arraigados, los más útiles para el narrador del horror porque nosotros los tenemos siempre

Volume by volume, I'm making my way through Urasawa's Master Keaton series. A marked difference from his Monster is the episodic nature of this series. In the vast majority of its chapters, Keaton's adventures are stand-alone and can be appreciated outside of the context of the others. In some way, that's a strength of this title. On the other hand, I tend to appreciate more the longer-form stories involving Keaton, the ones that last two, three, or more segments.

  • Pluto and Doubling"
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Column -- "Pluto And Doubling" By: Craig Fischer Abstract Welcome to the first installment of “Monsters Eat Critics,” a monthly column I’ll be writing for TCJ.com. I hope that “Monsters Eat Critics” sounds like the title of a Z-grade science-fiction movie, because I plan to write about genre comics, including science-fiction comics, rather than the alt-, art- and mini-comics so ably covered by other TCJ critics. Let me make clear, though, that I’ll be saying little about contemporary superhero comics, because I’m bored by the ones I’ve read and have nothing to express about them beyond a shrug and an annoyance that hype like “The New 52” gets so much attention, even negative attention, on comics blogs. Even though future columns will discuss creators who simultaneously labored in and transcended the superhero genre—we’ll trot Kirby out for obligatory analysis, if only to rile Pat Ford—I don’t care about superheroes or the superhero-driven business of American mainstream comics. I’m looking for art in other genres, and I’ll begin with one of the most artistically accomplished genre comics of the last ten years, Naoki Urasawa’s Pluto (2003-2009). Specifically, my argument is that Urasawa builds Pluto on overlapping, complex systems of doubling, and in reading closely to uncover these systems, I’ll be giving away all of Pluto’s major plot points, so beware. We spoil to dissect here. Fischer, C. (2011). "Pluto And Doubling" The Comics Journal (TCJ), October 3, 2011.

  • CONTEMPORARY COMMUNICATION, the CULTURE of MANGA Christiana Constantopoulou Manga and Anime
    French Journal For Media Research – n° 6/2016 – ISSN 2264-4733 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTEMPORARY COMMUNICATION, THE CULTURE OF MANGA Christiana Constantopoulou Professeure de Sociologie de la Communication Université Panteion, Athènes - Grèce Manga and Anime The popularity of anime and manga has helped westerners gain a broader understanding of Japanese culture. Manga is a generic term for all graphic novels and comic books originally published in Japan. Manga is read either in serialized comic books, monthly magazines, or graphic novels. All formats are available in English translation, graphic novels, however, are the most common and can be found in both major bookstore chains and local comic shops. The graphic novels are usually presented in "manga-style," meaning a right-to-left format. The word Manga, when translated directly, means “whimsical drawings”. Manga are typically 'comic books' as the West understands them; rather, they represent pieces of Japanese culture and history. The 'manga' style has an extensive history, beginning sometime in the 10th century; scrolls from that period depict animals as part of the 'upper class', behaving as a typical human would in similar situations. Such scrolls would go on to be known as the Chōjū giga or “The Animal Scrolls”. Scrolls found later on in the 12th century would depict images of religion such as the Gaki Zoshi (Hungry Ghost Scrolls) and the Jigoku zoshi (Hell Scrolls). While both dealt with various aspects of religion, unlike “The Animal Scrolls”, these provided a more instructive viewpoint, rather than a comedic style. Manga are more significant, culturally, than Western comic books (though many fill the same role).

  • An Analysis of Contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden
    An analysis of Contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden with a study of the works of Naoki Urasawa A Master’s Thesis for the Degree “ Master of Arts (Two Years) in Visual Culture By Erika Fujiwara Master thesis: May, 2010 Grader: Anders Michelsen Author: Erika Fujiwara Supervisor: Måns Holst-Ekström Page: 50 Illustrations: 7 This thesis is an analysis of contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden. The objective of the study was to identify the potential and problems for Manga culture and its future in the international market. Also I try to examine the potential of Manga to establish its academic status. This research will be based on the analysis of the transition and features of Manga related with Japanese culture, and a case study of Urasawa Naoki’s works from a feminist and postmodernist points of view. The research method is basically the analysis of literatures, interviews with Manga artists and my own observation. The first chapter starts with the analysis of comic book features from visual cultural point of view, a historical overview of Manga and Japanese cultural introduction in a relation to Manga. The second chapter will analyze Naoki Urasawa who is said to be one of the best contemporary Manga artists in Japan, or the reincarnation of Osamu Tezuka, well-known as the father of Manga. The third chapter focuses on the comparative study of Manga in Japan and Sweden in order to evaluate Manga’s potential and to identify the problems using the interviews of those who work in Manga industry, and finally the last chapter contains the feminist perspectives on Manga.
