365 Samurai and a Few Bowls of Rice

A single-issue graphic novel from Dark Horse, 365 Samurai and a Few Bowls of Rice (2009–present) is a self-contained, epic journey by writer/artist J.P. Kalonji. The story follows a lone samurai’s year-long quest for vengeance across a beautifully rendered feudal Japan, told in a unique panel-a-day structure. Its sparse, meditative storytelling and striking black-and-white art make it a distinctive, atmospheric entry in the creator-owned comics landscape.
