Pure Trance

In Pure Trance, a single-issue comic from Last Gasp, artist Junko Mizuno crafts a dreamlike, psychedelic journey through a world of surreal, candy-colored imagery. The series, launched in 2020, stands as a showcase for Mizuno's signature blend of cute and macabre, inviting readers into a hypnotic visual experience that feels both playful and unsettling. It matters as a concentrated burst of her singular artistic vision, a standalone work that captures the essence of her influence on alternative and underground comics.
