Description

My attempts to research this online haven't come up with much, so I'll just give you the machine translation from the auction listing--make of it what you can.

"The scene where he follows Medama Oyaji [Kitaro's Eyeball Father] and gives him the ticket he stole. After this we find out that this place is the entrance to hell, and that the ticket is a one-way ticket to hell. This is a panel manuscript used at the end of "Ghost Family Graveyard Kitaro" in the second volume of "Yokiden." This "Youkiden" was also edited by Shigeru Mizuki [1960, just three years into Mizuki's professional career, which he started at 32]. It did not become very popular, and was discontinued after the second volume, but a letter from a fan who wanted to read the continuation of Kitaro was sent to the president of Usatsuki Shobo, and the story continued [in other publications] with "Graveyard Kitaro [Later GeGeGe no Kitaro]." Although it is only two frames, it is an important scene that leads the story to "Graveyard Kitaro" (Takeshita)

Great horror theme! It looks like soup of the day, if the day was Halloween.

I love Mizuki art. They had a very nice exhibtion at Angouleme a few years ago. I missed it but got the catalog on the secondary market.
