How would I describe Ms. Mizuno's work? I guess my best description would be "PowerPuff Girls on LSD"
Junko Mizuno is a manga artist whose work often consists of cute anime aesthetics with elements of sexuality and horror. Her work created the sub genre: Gothic Kawaii.
Her manga works include Hellbabies, re-imaginings of fairy tales such as Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella to the humorously titled Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu.
She has even done some work in comic anthologies like Marvel's Strange Tales where she created a Spiderman and Mary Jane comic.
In addition to her comics and illustration, her works have also been used in designing toys, t-shirts, calenders and other collectables. Her artwork is very unique and gives a very feminine perspective of Horror.
She was interviewed by the BBC for their Japanese Documentary series Japanorama, which you can check out below.
