Samoerai Legenden #9

The ninth chapter of Samoerai Legenden arrives in 2024 with a cover by Cristina Mormile that commands attention: a powerfully built, shirtless warrior wielding a blood-streaked sickle on a chain looms protectively — or perhaps menacingly — over a young girl in traditional robes, the two figures set against a quietly serene natural backdrop that makes the tension all the more striking. "De smaak van staal" (The Taste of Steel) promises the kind of raw, visceral drama that Di Giorgio and Mormile have made the hallmark of this series. A compelling addition to the Dutch-language line from Daedalus that fans of gritty samurai storytelling will want on their shelf.
