Tetsuo Manga Announced

21 years after the premiere of cult director Shinya Tsukamoto’s 1989 film Tetsuo, Tsukamoto has agreed to allow artist Akira Fukaya, who worked on the original Tetsuo film as a make-up and costume artist, to create a manga adaptation. The cyberpunk concept of a man transforming into a machine appeared in Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo film, its 1992 re-make/sequel Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, and an upcoming third film, Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. The Tetsuo manga will be published in Monthly Comic Beam magazine at an unspecified future date.
