Remina (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781974717477)

Another of Junji Ito's classics, the sci-fi masterwork Remina tells the chilling tale of a hell star.

An unknown planet emerges from inside a wormhole, and its discoverer, Dr. Oguro, christens the body "Remina" after his own daughter. His finding is met with great fanfare, and Remina herself rises to fame. However, the object picks up speed as it moves along in its curious course, eliminating planets and stars one after another, until finally Earth itself faces extinction... Is the girl Remina the true cause of the catastrophe? A masterwork of horror from Junji Ito, unfolding on a universal scale.
