Tokyo Zombie by Yusaku Hanakuma #comic #manga

From comic to film, enjoy the Tokyo Zombie Trailer

"A horror-comedy manga about two blue-collar factory workers and jiu-jitsu experts who deal with a zombie uprising in Tokyo. When the story begins, Fujio and Mitsuo dream of training in martial arts overseas and becoming famous. When they accidentally kill their overbearing boss, they bury him at a man-made garbage mountain known as Dark Fuji, where tons of rotting garbage have been contaminated with industrial waste which, naturally, transforms the bodies of the dead into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies.  Fuji and Mitsuo try their best to survive in this horrific new landscape, but the hapless pair become separated after an idiotic mistake involving potato chips and a stray dog. A few years later, post-apocalyptic Tokyo has become a feudalistic society, in which the rich have enslaved the lower classes, and created gladiator death matches, pitting zombies against slaves, and Fuji and Misuo meet again." http://www.lastgasp.com/d/32824/

Very VHS

I wouldn't say they're brilliantly designed, but standing in front of video's with covers like these made me weak at the knees once upon a time...this collection also shows covers from Krystian's very cool Polish collection.
