About the series
In 1998, Awesome Entertainment launched a single-issue comic adaptation of the cult film Six-String Samurai, written by Matt Hawkins and Rob Liefeld with art by Dan Fraga. This one-shot captures the film's post-apocalyptic, rock-and-roll-infused world where a sword-wielding Buddy Holly look-alike battles mutants for a shot at becoming the new king of Lost Vegas. While brief, it stands as a unique artifact of late-'90s indie comics, blending pop-culture homage with Liefeld's signature high-octane style.
