My Gorilla Family

Have you ever pondered what it would be like to marry a gorilla? Or to have your deepest desires granted by a satanic genie? Have you ever considered sacrificing your children to culinary aliens, separating your soul from your body, or bioengineering a sex beast? If so, MY GORILLA FAMILY is for you! Comprising fourteen mind—melting stories from the early 1970s, Iijima Ichiro's MY GORILLA FAMILY offers an intimate, profoundly humanistic—and profoundly disturbing—introduction to one of the most bonkers imaginations in the history of Japanese comics. With an essay by wacko—manga archaeologist Onishi Shohei, MY GORILLA FAMILY is the fifth volume of SMUDGE, a line of vintage horror, occult, and dark fantasy manga curated and translated by award—winning historian Ryan Holmberg.
