The Demon Warrior

    (Eastern, 1987-1988)
™ and ©1987 Eastern Comics and Eastern Commerce, Inc.

A front runner in the manga movement of the late 1980s, The Demon Warrior from Eastern Comics lives up to the stylized form of storytelling that has taken the comic book industry by storm. Harsh action lines, wide-eyed heroes/heroines and few words make this visually appealing title a quick and easy read.

Drawing inspiration from the standard “avenge the death of my mother” storyline, The Demon Warrior tells the story of Choogong, a young boy who witnesses firsthand the murder of his mother—a murder that was ordered by his own father. Her dying words described the tattoo on her husband’s chest—the only identifying feature the boy has of his never before seen father. Flash forward twelve years and the boy, now a grown man, begins his journey to find his father. Trained by the Sahyulmoon, the most dangerous assassins in the world, it is not a tearful reunion The Demon Warrior looks for, but rather a reunion marked with blood.
