Samurai: Mystic Cult

In 1992, Night Wynd launched this four-issue miniseries, written and drawn primarily by Barry Blair with art contributions from Patrick McEown. Set in a world of feudal Japanese mysticism, it follows a samurai entangled with a secretive cult wielding supernatural powers. Blair’s gritty, visceral style gives the tale a dark, cinematic edge, marking a distinctive entry in the early-’90s indie comic boom.
