Samurai Legend v1 c01-09 (complete)
Writer: Kan Furuyuma
Artist: Jiro Taniguchi
“From the pages of history comes the legend of Samurai Jubei and the book he was pledged to protect.
Now the book has been stolen and Jubei must retrieve it before Japan descends into bloody civil war.
A tale of blood, swords and political intrigue!
With artwork by the Tezuka Award-winning artist of Benkei in New York, Jiro Taniguchi.
Printed in original Japanese right-to-left format! ”
“In my recent columns and reviews pertaining to manga, I’ve repeatedly asked the question, “Who will fill the samurai void left by Lone Wolf and Cub? I am happy to report, however, I need not hold my breath on that front. Jiro Taniguchi and Kan Furuyama have delivered the historical samurai goods in Samurai Legend…..It is with a heavy heart, however, that I must say Samurai Legend isn’t really the plug to fill the void left by the completion of Lone Wolf and Cub. Samurai Legend is a graphic novel, a complete story told in one collection, not an ongoing series. We get this one well crafted piece of historical fiction and then we must move on to seek new pastures. Samurai Legend is high quality historical fiction” - comicreaders.com
Yaaaay!…More from the <Benkei In New York> artist AND it’s about Jubei Yagyu!!?!!?!!! -Axe
