Manga creator Hirohiko Araki made his manga debut in 1981 with the Wild West story, Busô Poker. He experimented with several genres, including mysteries (Mashonen B.T.) and action-horror (Baoh), before beginning JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE in 1986. Propelled by imaginative storylines, surreal imagery and individualistic artwork, JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE

released. Araki’s current works include a new series set in the JOJO'S universe, JoJolion.
