Vanity Angel

In this six-issue miniseries from the mid-1990s, Antarctic Press presents a surreal fashion-world fantasy where a mysterious designer creates garments with supernatural properties. The story follows the titular Vanity Angel, a model whose glamorous life masks a deeper, stranger reality involving rival designers and otherworldly forces. Primarily written by Kaori Asano, Rimiko Sawada, and Kuni Kimura, with Asano also handling the artwork, the series stands as a stylish, overlooked artifact of the era's indie manga-influenced comics.
