Description

Blurb:
From the creators of Lone Wolf and Cub comes Samurai Executioner. It’s true! Few know of this precursor to the legendary ronin saga, but before Koike and Kojima created Itto Ogami, they created Kubikiri Asa, better known to Lone Wolf readers as Decapitator Asaemon. He was the equal to Itto, bearer of the sword Onibocho, the man charged with the duty of testing the swords for the shogun. Shogun Executioner is based on the decapitator himself, in life before his fatal duel with Lone Wolf. Expect the same legendary drama, frantic action, and stoic samurai stature, combined with the exemplary art and storytelling that made Lone Wolf and Cub one of the most popular and influential comic books in the world!
Die Geschichte spielt in der Edo-Periode Japans und erzählt die Geschichte von Yamada Asaemon (auch Kubikiri Asa genannt), der für den Shogun Schwerter testet, indem er sie als Scharfrichter gegen Verbrecher benutzt. Die Geschichte erzählt aber weniger die Geschichte von Asaeomen, sondern befasst sich eher mit den Geschichten der Verbrecher, die er exekutieren muss ...
Texto de presentación:
Yishitsugu es el heredero de los Asaemon Yamada, familia de samurais que sirven al Shogun como Probadores de Katanas. Es este un oficio muy respetable y respetado y, sobre todo, temido por el resto de la población de Edo, pues una de sus facetas es la decapitación de los reos condenados a muerte. La historia de Asa comienza con el relevo generacional, pues su padre ya es muy viejo para seguir desempeñando el trabajo. Ese es “El Primer Golpe de Katana”: todos los episodios de la vida de este personaje, van a ser contados así, a través de los golpes que tiene que dar con las katanas que prueba o con la suya propia “EL Filo del Diablo” (Onibocho), una leyenda de precisión y muerte en sus manos.
Todos y cada uno de “los golpes de Katana” definen un capítulo lleno de poesía, sentimientos y código Bushido, el que rige la vida de todo samurai de honor.

Testo della bandella:

La vicenda è ambientata in epoca Edo, e racconta la vita e gli incontri di Yamada Asaemon, un ronin incaricato di testare le spade dello Shogun e conosciuto come "Asaemon, il carnefice".
