Samuree

From 1987 to 1991, Continuity Comics published Samuree, a nine-issue series blending martial arts, mysticism, and a modern-day samurai ethos. The title character, a female warrior wielding a cursed sword, was brought to life by a creative team that included writers Elliot S. Maggin, Neal Adams, and Peter Stone, with art from Mark Beachum, Dave Hoover, and Steve Geiger. A distinctive entry in the late-80s independent comics boom, Samuree stands out for its fusion of supernatural action and a strong, stoic heroine, reflecting the era's growing appetite for genre-blending adventures outside the Big Two.
