DDT collects short stories by Suehiro Maruo from the early 1980s, arguably the author’s most creative period. These new comics allow Maruo to give free rein to his imagination: funny and absurd, always filled with references – notably to surrealism and German expressionism – they deal with rape, murder and incest. And despite the horror and morbidity, a certain romanticism emerges, each board being able to be contemplated as a work of art in its own right. Between voyeurism and curiosity for the disastrous fate of the characters, we enter as if trapped in the fascinating universe of Maruo.
