Manga occult and horror are just under the radar of American pop culture--until you visit the graphic novels section of any bookstore. That’s when you enter a strange, mysterious universe of elegant occult and horror stories, packed with amazing artwork from the best illustrators Japan has to offer. Subtle and compelling, Japanese occult and horror manga melds the two genres into one, so that glamorous occult-world vampires may mingle in the horror-world of beasts, and dark angels might visit a cave filled with monsters to reveal a deadly secret. Manga Mania: Occult and Horror is the first American tutorial on this most alluring and complex genre. With his popular step-by-by step drawings and clear text, best-selling author Christopher Hart shows exactly how to draw wizards, demon children, vampires, card readers, dragon worshipers, and many more denizens of the hidden places between darkness and light.
