About the series
This First Comics edition of Lone Wolf and Cub (1987–1991) brought Kazuo Koike and Gōseki Kojima's legendary samurai epic to English-speaking readers, translated by Alex Wald and David Lewis. Spanning 45 issues, it follows the wandering ronin Ogami Itto and his infant son Daigoro on their blood-soated path of vengeance along the "Meido no Hihyō"—the road to hell. A landmark in graphic storytelling, it remains a masterclass in historical drama, choreographed violence, and the stark beauty of Kojima's brushwork.
