The latest work of horror manga from Living the Line's Smudge imprint has arrived.  Translated once again by Ryan Holmberg, who co-edited the book with Kunisawa Hiroshi, Face Meat presents the first English language collection of the work of "outlaw polymath", Bonten Taro.  Combining raunch with horror, and mixing sex with gore, the fourteen tales presented in this 240 page softcover were all originally published between 1967 and 1969 in Japanese "men's" magazines (aka smut).  

This volume includes a sixteen-page, illustrated essay by Kunisawa, "The Nine Lives of Outlaw Artist Bonten Taro," which cetners on Bonten's life – which is quite a story in itself.

We've posted a hefty gallery of spreads from the book on the Copacetic Tumblr, HERE.
