Hell's Paradise: a PFP Zine

Hell’s Paradise Zine explores the characters and relationships within Yuji Kaku’s Jigokuraku series in both canon and alternate universe settings, focusing on the strength and bond they share with one another, and the hardships they learn to overcome. This zine will be pay-for-production — this means beyond physical compensation of items for participants in this project, we do not expect to generate any profits and will be charging the closest possible price to production cost.

The levels of gore and violence that may be seen within this project may include exposed internal organs, blood, and implied or explicit violence against humans.What are spot artists?
