Dead by Daylight – Junji Ito

Since 1987, Ito has been terrifying readers with his macabre tales and gruesome illustrations, earning a reputation as one of the most influential voices in horror manga along the way. Surreal, psychological, and always visually arresting, Ito's stories have garnered a well-deserved four Eisner Awards for creative achievement in American comic books. Much in the same way that Dead by Daylight mines every aspect of horror through a range of original and iconic characters, Ito's work also explores multiple horror subgenres, including body horror, cosmic horror, black comedy, and more. From a human marionette puppeted through the world on strings to a man able to produce and spit nails from his mouth, Ito's characters range from the unsettling to the unthinkable. A perfect fit to join the rest of the tortured souls lost in The Fog.
