The folks at Same Hat are holding a little contest:
Shopping before my trip, I came across a copy of Junji Ito’s Flesh-Colored Horror collection. This is a very good condition copy of this way out of print book, which was originally released by the now-defunct ComicsOne. It includes a bunch of awesome stories (all of which would have eventually become part of the Museum of Terror series), like one of my personal favorite Ito stories, “Dying Young”.
So yeah, it’s not the hardest thing in the world to find, but copies range online from $25 – $50, depending on the condition of the book. I’m guessing this one is worth about 35 bucks
Don’t you think you should have it in your manga collection?
The contest is dorky but simple, and the plan is to NOT make entering too time consuming. So, here it is: Whoever creates and sends us the best original 4-panel gag strip wins the book.
Contest deadline is this Friday. See the link for more details.
