47 Ronin

In 2021, Dark Horse Comics launched a single-issue prestige project, 47 Ronin, a graphic novel-length retelling of the legendary Japanese tale of loyalty and revenge. Masterfully illustrated by Stan Sakai, the series distills the epic 18th-century story of the masterless samurai into a focused, visually striking comic. Sakai's signature clean linework and deep research bring historical authenticity and emotional weight to this classic narrative. For fans of both samurai lore and Sakai's celebrated Usagi Yojimbo work, this is a powerful, standalone take on a timeless story.
