A shocking display of racism ends athletic superstar James Block’s life when the woman he thought he loved admits she only dated him because of his celebrity status—she would never marry someone of his race. His rage and temper lands him in jail where he meets the mysterious “Dr. F,” a man whose invisibility ray gun killed his daughter and led to the continued diminishing visibility of his granddaughter, Ami. Once freed from jail, James tracks down the gun and turns it on himself, but stops right before he’s fatally wounded. James can no longer be discriminated against due to his skin color for he has none! He takes the nom de guerre “Alabaster” and his translucent tyranny begins with two goals: exact his revenge on his ex-girlfriend, and take on the similarly invisible Ami as his own ward. Written in a dark period of Tezuka’s life, Alabaster is a thrilling revenge story that touches on the dark side of humanity and the extent one would go to get even. It shows that not only does it affect the victims, but how destructive it is to be surrounded by such animosity. How far will you go for retribution?

Mappa-Douji - Is a manga created by Japanese mangaka Hiroyuki Takei. It is one chapter long and is the tale of Hao Asakura, a Shaman King character, as a child 1000 years ago. In this original incarnation, his name is Asaha Douji. He was named after his mother, Asano Ha, who was killed by humans for being a yokai who could see and speak with demons. After his mother's death, Asaha is left with no home and no family. He meets and befriends a demon named Ohachiyo who renames him Mappa Douji (Demon Child), to avoid confusion between his and his mother's similar names, as the kanji could be pronounced both ways. Ohachiyo teaches Mappa Douji many things, and towards the end of the story he gives Mappa Douji the demonic power of reading minds, the beginning of Hao's powerfully and dangerously gifted mind. It is not told in this story, but in the main Shaman King manga, Hao later becomes an onmy?ji, which is a hint that Hao's fictional life may be based on the Japanese legend of Abe no Seimei, a famous onmy?ji whose mother was also rumoured to be a yokai.

H.P. Lovecraft's horror story, rendered in chilling detail by modern manga horror master Gou Tanabe! The complete story in one volume, featuring a tip-in title page in metallic gold ink and four pages in color. Even the folk of Arkham are frightened of a valley west of town…blighted and deformed by something that fell from space—a twisting, spectral hue. In 1927, a surveyor examining a site for a new reservoir arrives at the bottom of a desolate valley in rural Massachusetts…a place spoken of in fear, even by the inhabitants of witch-haunted Arkham—for in the past, they say, there were “strange days” there. The surrounding landscape is weirdly tangled and overgrown, but at the very center of the isolation are five acres where nothing lives and nothing remains, but a fine gray ash unstirred by the wind. What turned this farmland into a sterile, blasted heath? It happened long ago, the visitor learns from aged survivor Ammi Pierce, when in 1882 a visitor fell out of a clear blue sky, trailing smoke like a dragon. Soon scientists from Miskatonic University arrived at Nahum Gardner’s farm, where the meteorite landed—if indeed it was a meteorite, for the strangely plastic object refused to cool after its descent, seemed to gradually shrink, and in the laboratory, samples of it faded away slowly into nothingness. But not before revealing under analysis strange, shining radiance, unlike any known element of the spectrum. What had been a mystery to the professors gradually becomes a horror for the Gardner family as first, bizarre lightning disintegrates what remains of the cosmic visitor, and then their crops begin to come in strangely—fruits big and bountiful, but bitter and repugnant to eat. Then the unnatural blight spreads to the animals…and finally, to the minds and bodies of the Gardners…twisted by the colour out of space. “I love H.P. Lovecraft…It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn’t be as good as Gou’s version.”—Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Black Paradox)
