Classic Bradbury, this collection of tales offers images that are as keen as a tattooist's needle and as colorful as the inks that stain the body. Featuring a new Introduction, "The Illustrated Man" presents 18 startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin. 『刺青の男』（ハヤカワ文庫）「刺青の男」の全身に彫られた刺青が動き出して18の物語を演ずる。各物語は未来世界を描いたものであろうと思われ、全体的にディストピア的な雰囲気を持つ文明批判的なオムニバス。
