Junji Ito

Inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics, Junji Ito took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. He worked as a dental technician before becoming a full-time mangaka. Junji Ito has since been a beloved and genre-affluent author. His works tap in odd, bizarre ideas and phobias, exploiting deliciously creepy and heavily old-schooled horrors like no other. Once his book is picked up, no sleep is guaranteed even for the strongest hearts.
