Lone Wolf and Cub (Dark Horse)

    (Dark Horse, 2000-2002)
™ and © Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

Initially translated in English and reprinted in the United States by First Comics in the 80s, Dark Horse licensed Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima’s groundbreaking samurai series in 2000 and compiled them in digest-sized volumes. The Lone Wolf, Itto Ogami, is a widowed ronin who works as an assassin for hire in feudal Japan. The twist is that he has an infant son, Daigoro, who he protects and takes with him wherever he goes—even into the most dangerous and savage situations. Generally considered a masterpiece by critics and fans, Lone Wolf and Cub was so popular in Japan that it was adapted into several live-action films. It also fueled Frank Miller’s work, especially Ronin.
