HELL
BABY
by Hideshi Hino
This graphic novel by one of Japan's most accomplished artists tells the unsettling saga of twin sisters born on a dark and stormy night in Tokyo: one normal, and one a demon baby with a taste for blood--a Hell Baby. Tossed into a garbage dump, Hell Baby dies in the plastic bag but is brought back to life by an unworldly bolt of lightning. Hell Baby develops hard-earned hunting techniques to survive life among the wild animals who roam the garbage dump. After struggling along for seven years, she seeks revenge for her fate and returns to the city, where she applies her hunting skills for survival--this time against the good citizens of Tokyo.
Replete with Hino's trademark black humor and unflinching imagery, HELL BABY
is a classic horror tour de force.
Hideshi Hino is also the author of PANORAMA OF HELL, and his work is also included in COMICS UNDERGROUND JAPAN, both published by Blast Books. He lives in Tokyo.
"The most fun I've had reading a comic the last three or four weeks. . . . Hino uses a wide range of narrative tools extremely well . . . a mix of beautiful and spare imagery. . . ." --The Comics Journal
