Book Review - Deserter: Junji Ito Story Collection by Junji Ito

 

The graphic novel is a collection of Junji Ito's earliest work when he first entered the horror scene. The graphic novel is done in a black and white format and read in the same way as traditional Japanese manga are. Some of the short stories were more fleshed out than others. I think some missed their mark or perhaps, some of it was lost in translation. Most of the stories were creepy and witty as the characters fell prey to their own hubris. Overall, it was an interesting read and great introduction to Junji's work.
