Sam Noir: Ronin Holiday #1

In Sam Noir: Ronin Holiday #1, titled "Life's a Beach and Then You Die," a weary Sam Noir trades his usual blood-soaked missions for a rare break at the shore—only to find that peace doesn’t last long. When a squad of ninjas ambushes him, he’s forced back into action, aided by an unlikely ally named Grog. Together, they follow the attack to an abandoned mill, where Sam faces a shocking sight: a jungle girl riding a rhino. Written by Eric Anderson and Manny Trembley, with art and inks by Manny Trembley, and a cover by Manny Trembley, this 2007 Image Comics issue blends gritty action with surreal humor in a story that’s as unexpected as it is unforgettable.
