Samoerai Origine #2

The cover of Samoerai Origine #2 — De Wierookmeester draws the eye immediately to a fierce young warrior, bare-chested and poised mid-draw with a katana, rendered in vivid color against a sweeping ink-wash background populated by ghostly figures and a fortress-like structure. The contrast between the bold foreground fighter and the monochromatic, almost dreamlike scene behind them gives this Di Giorgio and Vax collaboration a striking visual depth. Published by Daedalus in 2020, it's a compelling entry in this prequel series that promises both elegant artistry and samurai drama.
