Ranpo Panorama

Ranpo Panorama, a single-issue comic from Le Lézard Noir launched in 2013, offers a stylish, self-contained homage to the macabre and surreal world of Japanese mystery writer Edogawa Ranpo. The series distills Ranpo’s signature blend of erotic grotesquerie and psychological horror into a compact visual experience, with its art and narrative deeply indebted to the author’s 1920s-30s literary aesthetic. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive entry in the publisher’s catalog, showcasing a focused, atmospheric take on classic Japanese weird fiction.
