The Elusive Samurai #9

A masked, cat-eared warrior in a deep purple kimono leaps through a swirling storm of fire and jade-green mist on Yusei Matsui's vivid cover for Volume 9 of The Elusive Samurai. The figure's dynamic mid-air pose and striking white fox mask radiate an energy that's perfectly matched by the molten, psychedelic backdrop. Matsui's story and art continue to blend feudal-era atmosphere with bold, eye-catching design — and this 2023 Viz release looks every bit as thrilling as the series has been.
