With influences ranging from 19th century atrocity prints to the Sex Pistols, and obsessions with horror, scatology and human freaks, Maruo has taken the "erotic-grotesque" (ero-guro) style of manga, a unique fusion of sex and violence to its ultimate extreme."Ultra-Gash Inferno "is the ultimate compendium of Suehiro Maruo's most shocking and graphically precise work, containing nine psycho-nightmares never before translated and published in English. With a translation by James Havoc (author of "Butchershop In The Sky") and Takako Shinkado, and an introduction by Romain Slocombe, "Ultra-Gash Inferno "is a revelatory cross-cultural event in comic-book publishing.Suehiro Maruo is also the author of "Camelia Girl "(published in English as "Mr Arashi's Amazing Freak Show").Parental discretion advised.
