![]() ![]() Mizuki owned the book series Sekai Kyofu Shosetsu Zenshu (世界恐怖小説全集 The Complete Collected Short Fiction of World Horror Stories) which formed much of his education on world horror and weird fiction. His love for Western horror comics has been demonstrated (See Mizuki Shigeru and American Horror Comics), and adaptations of classic horror tales pop up all over his work either shoehorned into his famous comic Gegege no Kitaro or as straight adaptations in their own right. Beneath his beneficent smile and charming penchant for cheap hamburgers lies the brain of one of the world’s great expects on mythology, folklore, and the weird world of monsters. ![]() It should come as no surprise that Shigeru Mizuki is well versed in world horror and weird fiction.
