Tengu-Do #2

The second volume of Tengu-Do, subtitled Ronin, presents a striking cover dominated by a lone armored warrior — masked, battle-worn, and crouched amid scattered samurai armor and weapons, rendered in a moody palette of deep blacks, grays, and sharp yellows. Published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 2007, this French-language series by Nikolavitch and Rossetto draws deeply from the world of feudal Japanese warrior culture. The image sets a contemplative yet tense tone, suggesting a masterless fighter caught between honor and survival.
