Kuro & Marco is the first non-guro work from noteworthy guro mangaka Horihone Saizou. The titular story has four chapters. It’s an eccentric one about space kids who live in some kind of bizarre alternate universe solar system, where comets are giant dogs, robot people live in a certain part of the the asteroid belt, animal people live on other planets, and the earth is still ruled by dinosaurs.The other stories in the book are various thematically unrelated shorts, but it’s worth noting that he still managed to sneak a story in about tearing organs out of live prisoners, even though it lacked explicit depictions of violence (apparently, an actual Japanese practice in the old days).

The one-shot takes place 60 years after the events of Cool Shock B.T. and stars an older B.T. and Koichi Mugikari. Koichi ends up losing his house after falling for a scam from the "Outlaw Guys". B.T. helps his childhood friend get back what he deserves.

"Show, don't tell. That's what they told me. "The DaneMen" is a silent comic strip. People all look the same. There are three main flavors: absurd, truthy and grim. Hitchcock said "Drama is life with all the dull bits cut out." Too bad. Life is 99% dull bits. Seems like a waste of bits to me. Chaplin said "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.” Well..."The DaneMen" has close-ups, long-shots, AND mediums-shots! Take that, Chaplin!"
