Anjin-San

In Anjin-San, the French publisher Le Lézard Noir launched a single-issue comic in 2012 that explores the historical figure of William Adams, the English navigator who became a samurai in Japan. The series distills his remarkable story into a focused, standalone graphic narrative, presented with the publisher’s typical emphasis on artistic and historical depth. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive European take on a key cross-cultural figure, offering a concise but resonant portrait of a man bridging two worlds.
