8 | In the manga subgenre known as Ero-guro (Erotic-grotesque), Suehiro Maruo (born January 28, 1956) is renown for his beautifully-composed, exquisitely-crafted scenes influenced by Japanese ''Ukiyo-e'' prints on one hand, and the canon of Western fine art on the other. |
9 | |
10 | Maruo started his career by providing short strips for porn magazines, because, as he says, they would publish anything [[PornWithoutPlot as long as there is nudity and sex]]. Indeed, many of his early strips are [[MindScrew incomprehensible]]. The America-published anthology ''Ultra-Gash Inferno'' contains the more "readable" stories of early Maruo, while the rest are sometimes available as {{Scanlation}}. |
11 | |
12 | Maruo's growing fame then allowed him to publish longer stories, of which ''Manga/MrArashisAmazingFreakShow'' has garnered him an international cult following. |
13 | |
14 | Maruo's important works include: |
15 | * ''Manga/MrArashisAmazingFreakShow'' (1984) |
16 | * ''New Atrocities In Blood'' (1988) -- a modern reworking of ''Muzan-e'' (atrocity prints) genre of ''Ukiyo-e''. |
17 | * ''Inugami Expert'' (1994) |
18 | * ''Manga/TheLaughingVampire'' (1998) |
19 | * ''The Strange Tale of Panorama Island'' (2008) -- adaptation of a novel by Edogawa Rampo. |
20 | * ''Imomushi'' (''The Caterpillar'') (2009) -- another Rampo adaptation. |

33 | * NoEnding: His one-shot stories tend to end abruptly with no conclusion or resolution to the plot. |
