Shintaro Kago

Born in 1969, Shintaro Kago made his comics debut in 1988. Best known for his work within the eroguro (erotic grotesque) genre, he has penned dozens of books for a range of mostly indie comic book publishers. The shorts found in Super-Dimensional Love Gun, like his previous release Dementia 21 (Fantagraphics), are examples of the "fashionable-paranoia" genre he founded. The genre mixes visually driven story-telling with shockingly violent themes to create equally dark and humorous narratives.
