Hospital Train (3rd edition) by Daisuke Ichiba is a surreal comic that confronts the visceral tension between beauty and brutality. Printed in a limited English edition of 350 copies by Hollow Press, this 32-page A4 publication features black-and-white digital illustrations, a full-color cover, and a stapled binding. Ichiba’s style merges chaos, absurdity, and emotional disarray into a coherent expression of the human condition. Originally released in July 2024, this third printing continues the artist’s uncompromising vision. English translation by Juan Scassa.

Daisuke Ichiba (b. 1963, Japan) is a self-taught Japanese artist known for his surreal, grotesque, and psychologically charged drawings. His work explores themes of violence, eroticism, and the subconscious, blending manga aesthetics with outsider art sensibilities. Ichiba’s books have been published by avant-garde publishers like Le Dernier Cri and Hollow Press and have earned him a cult following in Europe and Japan alike.
