William Adams, samouraï

In this two-issue series from Casterman, writer and artist Nicola Genzianella reimagines the real-life English navigator William Adams, who became a samurai in 17th-century Japan. The comic blends historical adventure with a fictionalized account of Adams's integration into Japanese society, focusing on his role as a cultural bridge during the early Edo period. Genzianella’s detailed artwork brings the era to life, making this a concise but vivid exploration of a lesser-known chapter in global history.
