About the series
Junji Ito's Uzumaki is a haunting three-issue horror manga series published by Viz from 2001 to 2002, centered on a small Japanese town cursed by an obsessive spiral pattern that manifests in increasingly grotesque and surreal ways. Written and illustrated primarily by Ito himself, with translation by Yuji Oniki and lettering by Steve Dutro, the series stands as a landmark work of cosmic horror, renowned for its intricate, unsettling artwork and its slow-burn descent into madness. It remains a definitive example of Ito's ability to turn a simple geometric shape into a source of profound dread.
