筒井康隆
Junji Ito (born 1963) is a notable Japanese horror manga artist who has created hundreds of comic works, many of which are one-shot manga. He has a unique realistic art style which integrates Japanese psychological terror and visual terror. His horror art is influenced by authors and artists such as H.P. Lovecraft, Yasutaka Tsutsui, Hideshi Hino and Kazuo Umezu. His works have a hint of gallows humor (or black comedy), metaphysical philosophy, existential philosophy, and Cthulhu Mythos, but are less concerned with cliched plots. Examples of his one-shot manga include:
