Haven't heard of Lone Wolf & Cub (Kozure Okami in Japan)? Oh, man, it's great...It's cool because the main character (Ogami Itto w/son Daigoro) is actually shown in an episode of Samurai Jack in a flashback of when Jack was a kid...Needless to say, Ogami tears it up...
The series is about this wondering Ronin for hire who travels w/his child. He's gaining money so he can buy his clan back...I only have about 12 of the books myself...He's pretty much the most bad ass of bad asses there ever was.
- from the back of book 1 -
It's acknowledged worldwide for the brillian writing of series creator Kazuo Koike and the groundbreaking cinematic visuals of the late Goseki Kojima. Creating unforgettable imagery of stark beauty, kinetic fury, and visceral thematic power, the epic samurai adventure has influenced a generation of visual storytelers both in Japan and in the West.
"It takes you to another time, and to a frightening, alien land, windswept and gray. Koike and Kojima tell their story masterfully and artfully, portraying a man, a boy, and a country on their journey into Hell."
-Frank Miller
