バンパイヤ [Vampire]

In 1968, Akita Shoten published the first of only three issues of Vampire, a short-lived but atmospheric horror manga series. Associated with the era's burgeoning gekiga movement, the series offered a stark, adult take on vampire mythology, distinct from the more whimsical monster stories of the time. Its brief run and striking art have made it a curious footnote for collectors of vintage Japanese horror comics.
