MOOOO! Lord Momon cries out- ready for her meal. MOOOO! Baby sister cries out- miserable and cold. As a young teen- sweet Miki learns the bizarre truth about her family: for centuries- they have harnessed half-cow- half-human beasts known as “kudan” for their wealth and power. And soon- another shall be born. The hour approaches. Her mother moans in pain as the contractions begin. But all poor Miki can plead is MOTHER- PLEASE DON’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONSTER! Published in 1988 at the end of the classic era of horror manga- MOTHER- PLEASE DON’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONSTER is a revolting and zany tour de force by the incomparable Shirakawa Marina. The author’s last published graphic novel- this manga marks the ultimate elaboration of Shirakawa’s creepy- crackpot synthesis of Japanese history- legend- and the occult- as made famous in his cult favorite UFO MUSHROOM INVASION. Never before reprinted even in Japan- and with an essay about Shirakawa’s mysterious life and career- MOTHER- PLEASE DON’T GIVE BIRTH TO A MONSTER is the eighth volume of Smudge- a line of vintage horror and dark fantasy manga curated by award-winning historian Ryan Holmberg and published by Living the Line.
