Gems of the Samurai

A single-issue 1994 prestige project from Newcomers Publishing, Gems of the Samurai is a standalone, lavishly illustrated comic that distills the ethos and iconography of feudal Japan's warrior class into a visual and narrative gem. While brief, the book is notable for its focused, non-serialized storytelling, presenting a self-contained meditation on honor, duty, and the samurai code. It stands as a unique artifact of its era, a compact yet resonant piece of historical fiction from a publisher known for its eclectic output.
