Last Gasp Acquires Suehiro Maruo Manga

Last Gasp has acquired translation and distribution rights to award winning underground manga artist Suehiro Maruo’s 2008 manga The Strange Tale of Panorama Island (Panorama-tou Kitan). The manga is an adaptation of Edogawa Rampo’s 1926 novella about a failed sci-fi author who assumes the identity of the deceased son of a rich industrialist in the early 1920s. The English language publication will be released next spring.
