Gojin Ishihara macabre kids book art (via Pink Tentacle)

These brutal, bizarre, and (sometimes) hilarious images from 70′s Japanese kids books and magazines (via Pink Tentacle) have been doing the rounds. The illustrator is Tetsuya Ishida. I would have loved this stuff as a kid, whether or not they would have induced future mental health crippling nightmares… I would have lapped it up none-the-less!

I’ve only posted a handful, so head over to the Pink Tentacle post to view all 36 spreads!
