About the series
A single-issue 1997 release from Viz, Pulp: Manga for Grownups was a magazine-format sampler designed to introduce mature readers to the publisher's more adult-oriented manga. It showcased a mix of genre-spanning serialized chapters—from crime thrillers to dark fantasy—by creators like David Lapham and Junji Ito. Though short-lived, it served as a bold statement of Viz's intent to expand beyond all-ages titles, offering a curated glimpse into the edgier side of Japanese comics for an English-speaking audience.
