7/7/2023 0 Comments Frankenstein junji ito review![]() ![]() Using Mary Shelley’s monumental gothic horror story on science gone wrong and men playing at god, Ito finds a way to extend his exploration on humanity’s monstrosity by making it clear that any creation born out of human curiosity can only result in misshapen monsters. With Frankenstein, Ito takes the introspective element of human horror and applies it to creativity. People become spiral shapes themselves, offering their bodies as proof of humanity’s inner monstrosity. In Uzumaki, he turns an obsession to spiral shapes into a metaphor on how people twist, turn, and contort to fit their strangest desires into their daily routines. Junji Ito’s original body of work often turns its human characters inside out to show how monstrous we truly are. Touch-up Artist and Letterer: James Dashiell ![]()
