If you've ever felt a chill run down your spine while turning the pages of a manga, there's a good chance Junji Ito is to blame. Known for his spine-tingling tales and unnerving illustrations, Ito has firmly established himself as a master of horror. The way that Ito has become a horror icon in the west is astounding, especially when you consider how much of a moderate success he is in his home country of Japan. But Ito’s work is everywhere, adaptations on Cartoon Network, tattoos, cosplay, makeup tutorials, toys, clothes, and merch.
