Tomie was a horrific funny good time about a narcissistic beautiful monster. I was surprised by all the comedy, mostly surrounding Tomie's vanity. The stories were well told, varied, and gorey. My favorite is the sake and the fingers story. I do think the book was a bit long, but it is a bind up so understand. I like how they tied together for a well rounded view of Tomie and to see where she comes from and is capable of. Artwork was amazingly intricate and descriptive. Such talent. Well done.
