Dimensional Flats

Dimensional Flats – Tetsunori Tawaraya, 5th Edition

Dimensional Flats is a 32-page sci-fi horror comic by Tetsunori Tawaraya, published by Hollow Press in a limited edition of 1000 copies. This is the 5th edition, in English.

The story centers on a mutant doctor who treats patients afflicted by lethal conditions — until he is himself consumed by a dimension that manifests as a rare disease. His comrades mount a rescue mission, deploying methods as strange as the affliction itself. The premise is spare and strange: dimension as pathology, the body as contested territory, medicine as futile ritual.

Visually, the work operates in the register Tawaraya has made his own — biomechanical forms dissolving into psychedelic pattern, mutation rendered with hyper-detailed linework, body horror folding into cyberpunk geometry. Printed in silver ink on 140g black PLIKE paper, the physical object reinforces the content: dense, dark, and resistant to casual reading. The silver-on-black printing is not decorative; it shapes how the imagery reads — high contrast, metallic, slightly alien.

This 5th edition of 1000 copies is published in English, making it accessible to the broader international audience that has followed Tawaraya's work across publishers including Hollow Press and Le Dernier Cri. It sits within a body of work that rewards sustained attention — readers already familiar with Assassin Child or Crystal Bone Drive will recognize the visual logic immediately. Those new to his work will find Dimensional Flats a compact and coherent entry point into his Surreal & Experimental Comics catalogue.
