5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy, Scary, Sweet, May 30, 2003

This review is from: Junko Mizuno's Hell Babies (Japanese Edition) (Paperback)

The design of this book alone is impressive, from the spongy plastic pink cover embossed with a Mizuno illustration, to the layout of each page and presentation of Mizuno's work. Its a cross between a comic book and art book. When you thumb through Mizuno's work you begin to understand what a prolific artist she is and that she has a message to communicate. Her illustrations of the female figure combine many elements, a cute anime look, yet a transgressive maniacal twist in some scenes (blood rain, butcher knives), tender at times, vicious at others. Mizuno communicates the many aspects to female sexuality in a way that elicits a reaction in the viewer--confusion, laughter, fear, disgust, awe. Definitely a unique point of view and a unique book. I'm happy to own a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite artbook from an exceptional artist, July 28, 2006

By 

Bumble (DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Junko Mizuno's Hell Babies (Japanese Edition) (Paperback)

If you love Junko Mizuno's comics and artwork, then this book is definitely your next step! It shows a very broad range of her work divided up by range of years; one very cool section is made up of bios of the characters in her illustrations. It comes in a funky, glittery pink plastic slipcover and there's even a little paper doll in the back! Forty bucks is a great price for such a high-quality artbook. Junko Mizuno fans are sure to love it; I would even recommend this to people who simply love collecting the work of amazing artists.
