Let's take things in an older, spookier, and deeply dramatic direction with an obscure little gem from ComicsOne.
BRIDE OF DEIMOS (Deimosu no Hanayome), written by Etsuko Ikeda & art by Yuho Ashibe. First published in 1975, and first published in North America in 2005.
PLOT:
Minako Ifu is a lovely and hopeful girl, but ever since the fateful day she encountered Deimos, the Greek god of fear, her life has been haunted by misery and death. Deimos believes her to be the reincarnation of Venus and wants Minako as his bride. When she refuses, he torments her by making those around Minako suffer in a supernatural fashion. Even when Deimos does not directly interfere, Minako's life becomes increasingly infested with monsters of all shapes and sizes with agendas of their own.
