Sabu & Ichi

In 2010, Dargaud launched a four-issue series centered on the unlikely partnership of Sabu, a young samurai, and Ichi, a blind masseur with a hidden past. Written by Jean-François Di Giorgio and illustrated by Stéphane Louis, this historical adventure draws on the rich tradition of Japanese chanbara storytelling. The series stands out for its tight, self-contained narrative and atmospheric art, offering a compact but immersive entry into the world of wandering swordsmen.
