Tomie was a horrific funny good time about a narcissistic beautiful monster.  I was surprised by all the comedy, mostly surrounding Tomie's vanity.  The stories were well told, varied, and gorey.  My favorite is the sake and the fingers story.  I do think the book was a bit long, but it is a bind up so understand.  I like how they tied together for a well rounded view of Tomie and to see where she comes from and is capable of.  Artwork was amazingly intricate and descriptive.  Such talent.  Well done.
