About the series
A short-lived but striking three-issue series from Viz, Black & White (1998–2000) presented a stark, monochrome anthology of original short stories. It showcased the talents of a rotating roster of manga-influenced artists, offering a mix of genres from horror to slice-of-life. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive artifact of late-90s alternative comics, capturing a moment when American creators were experimenting with a clean, black-and-white aesthetic and the storytelling rhythms of Japanese manga.
