Lone Wolf and Cub #10

Frank Miller's cover for this 1988 First Comics edition pulls no punches — a fierce, battle-hardened samurai clutches a wide-eyed infant with fierce protectiveness, katana at the ready, the tension between warrior and child rendered in stark, expressive linework. It's a striking visual distillation of everything that makes Lone Wolf and Cub so compelling: the unlikely bond between a deadly ronin and the baby he carries into danger. Kazuo Koike and Gōseki Kojima's "Lawless Samurai" arc continues here, promising the same blend of feudal-era action and raw human drama that made this series a landmark of 1980s manga translation.
