Manage episode 447176654 series 2860866
In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I sit down with Gigi Murakami, the Queen of Black Horror Manga. Gigi Murakami is an Ignatz-nominated mangaka, illustrator, and writer from New York City. Her work masterfully blends Japanese manga with vintage American pulp and comic aesthetics, creating dark and dramatic themes that captivate readers. Gigi Murakami shares her passion for horror and sci-fi, drawing inspiration from Tales from the Crypt and Silent Hill, and we dive into her acclaimed manga Resenter, a powerful story of revenge and transformation. Join me as we explore how Gigi Murakami brings the Black female experience to life through the world of horror manga. This conversation reveals the creative depth Gigi Murakami brings to her work and her unique voice in the horror manga genre.
