Enomoto - King of Shit
I was cleaning out my closet the other day and found an old Comics Journal I had bought back in 2002, and re-found this amazing article about this Japanese artist, Enomoto Shunji. The article is pretty awesome for introducing something so foreign to American audiences, but quiet amazing for the lack of any real information on the artist. The writer, Tom Devlin (publisher at the late Highwater Books) even suggests the reader imagine the characters are screaming instead of saying anything meaningful.
I’m also excited to announce that I found a copy of the first volume of Enomoto: New Elements that Shake the World, so I’ll be translating it for you lovely people. Get ready to vomit, the first chapter has a brute of a woman beating the main character with her new born baby still attached by the umbilical cord. Yeah… pretty awesome.
So, I wanted to get this out here, cause it’s awesome, and the magazine is soooooo out of print, I don’t think anyone could ever find it. Regardless, here it is.

The journal was better for manga back in the Deppy days. The shoujo special was the bomb.
Bill Randall still writes some interesting stuff for them now.

That volume was edited in spanish and I can say is truly amazing. I laugh my ass off everytime I read it. Too bad the sales weren’t good so the publisher won’t release any more volumes…

@ Swarming action:
Wow! So, they released the first volume in Spanish, but didn’t continue? That seems to be what happens to the better manga anyways. Sigh….
