Two Manga by Hiromi Tominaga about Ian McCulloch!

It's not surprising to know there are more fan mangas outside of 8 Beat Gag that are based around various 80's musicians. However it is surprising to find two, possibly 3, books of Ian McCulloch about his weird adventures with-.. uhhh.. with characters that I assume are kinda like self inserts?? Unfortunately there's no translations for these, and the visuals don't make the storyline clear compared to 8 Beat Gag- where you can kinda guess certain plots. These stories are so crazy, the second manga focuses on Ian and his little twin baby?? I apologize but im so lost with these. still entertaining to look at!! i included 1 page from each book to give an idea on the style.

anyways!! you can read both of these mangas for free on my google drive link share! have fun!! :D

click me to read!

[tragic-vaudeville]

is there any goth albums or bands you suggest listening too?

I listen to: all the cure goth albums, Selected Scenes from the end of the world by London after midnight, Ju Ju by Siouxsie and the banshees, Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, Floodland by The sisters of mercy, In a flat field by Bauhaus, Ocean Rain by Echo & the bunnymen, one Ploho album (it’s in Russian), and two Molchat Doma albums (it’s in Russian 😭)

IN PROGRESS: Only a theater of pain by Christian Death and Clan of Xymox (I’m listening to it rn!!)

Right now I been looking threw Reddit for goth albums and one goth friend on instagram I follow your tumblr so I was wondering if you have any suggestions for bands and albums?

Also I went to your card and added you on air buds im on air buds (my name is Millie⁉️ and user is apolloflightsss or something similar to that)

oh i got plenty of recommendations for goth bands/albums!! i've limited down to 15 artists and 15 albums.

Love and Rockets

Depeche Mode

The Birthday Party

The Chamelons

Specimen

Faithful Dawn

The Damned (i specifically recommend their album Phantasmagoria bc it's their most iconic and gothic album it's so life changing vro)

Echo & the Bunnymen (okay im a huge bunnymen fan and im so glad you checked out ocean rain!! i really recommend listening to basically their first 3 albums before ocean rain (crocodiles, heaven up here, and porcupine) because they're super iconic and gothic. unfortunately from their 1987 self titled album and forward they lose their post punk/gothic sound and became like alternative dad rock. they're still good but those albums are hit and misses)

wilson (from dont starve) meeting dave vanian because they both got that same gay goth vibe. plus some of wilson's skins where he has white streaks in his hair reminds me of dave sm.
