Samurai Executioner #3

This third volume of Dark Horse's Samurai Executioner series collects issues #13-18 of the original manga, continuing the grim tales of decapitator Yamada Asaemon. In 'The Hell Stick,' the stoic executioner faces a corrupt official who uses his position to torment prisoners, leading to a brutal confrontation that tests the boundaries of justice and duty within feudal Japan. Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima, the legendary team behind Lone Wolf and Cub, deliver another stark, historically grounded story of honor and violence.
