Ronin

In the late 1980s, Frank Miller followed his legendary runs on Daredevil and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns with this ambitious, self-contained six-issue series from Zenda. A visionary blend of feudal Japan and a dystopian cyberpunk future, Ronin follows a masterless samurai reincarnated centuries later to face a demonic, sentient corporation. Miller handled both writing and art, crafting a stark, kinetic visual style that pushed the boundaries of comic book storytelling. This series remains a landmark for its seamless fusion of genres and its profound influence on the medium's narrative and artistic ambitions.
