Samurai Executioner #10

A lone samurai crouches in disciplined stillness on Gōseki Kojima's spare, elegant cover — katana drawn and held low, his expression calm yet resolute against a cool, minimal background. This tenth and final volume of Dark Horse's Samurai Executioner brings Kazuo Koike and Kojima's collaboration to its close, carrying the same quiet intensity that defined the series. For fans of the feudal-era samurai genre, this 2006 release is a fitting capstone to one of manga's most soberly compelling crime-and-justice epics.
