That’s rad as fuck. Reminds me of uzumaki

[–] BazaarMonk@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Thanks a lot! That makes me happy because Uzumaki is one of my favourite graphic novels. Love the story and artwork in it.

Idk, nothing actually spirals which is the whole point of uzumaki. Not that it isnt fantastic. Im feeling light-H.R. Geiger off it some, and also a bit of War of the Worlds.
