Rōnin

Frank Miller’s Ronin is a groundbreaking 1987 graphic novel from Warner Books that fuses feudal Japanese samurai myth with a dystopian cyberpunk future. Written and illustrated entirely by Miller, this six-issue series follows a disgraced ronin reborn in a 21st-century New York ruled by a malevolent corporation and its demonic master. Its stark, kinetic artwork and nonlinear narrative helped redefine the possibilities of the comic book medium, bridging the gap between superhero fare and mature, genre-bending storytelling.
