Samurai Shirô

Samurai Shirô, a Brazilian comic from DarkSide Books launched in 2018, reimagines the classic samurai narrative through a dark, supernatural lens. Created by writer and artist Danilo Beyruth, this single-issue series follows a lone swordsman in feudal Japan contending with demonic forces and personal tragedy. Its stark, expressive art and lean storytelling made it a striking entry in the publisher's graphic novel line, offering a self-contained, atmospheric take on the genre.
