Description

Blurb:
Dark Horse Comics is proud to present one of the authentic landmarks in graphic fiction, Lone Wolf and Cub, to be published in its entirety for the first time. Lone Wolf and Cub is an epic samurai adventure of staggering proportions -- a 17th century story of a disgraced Shogun’s executioner wandering the country as an assassin.
Klappentext:
In lose verknüpften, nicht chronologisch geordneten Episoden erzählt Lone Wolf & Cub die Odyssee des herrenlos gewordenen Samurai Ogami Ittou, der mit seinem kleinen Sohn Daigorou als Auftragsmörder durch das Japan des späten 17. Jahrhunderts zieht. Als einstmals angesehener Vasall des Shougun ist die Familie Ogami das Opfer einer blutigen Intrige geworden, die nur er selbst und sein Sohn überlebt haben. Ogami widersetzt sich dem Selbstmordbefehl des Shougun und geht auf Wanderschaft, um Rache an den Urhebern der Intrige, der Familie Yagyuu, zu nehmen.
Texto de presentación:
La historia se centra en Itto Ogami, asesino del Shogun, que tras el asesinato de su mujer decide emprender el camino del meifumado con su hijo, o lo que es lo mismo, dedicar su vida entera al camino de la venganza, a toda costa, hasta eliminar a todos y cada uno de sus enemigos.

Testo della bandella:

Il manga di samurai più importante del Giappone e uno dei più noti in Occidente! Fra i primi a essere serializzato con continuità negli USA, è stato una delle fonti di ispirazione di Frank Miller (autore di molte copertine del manga). Le avventure di Itto Ogami, “ronin” (samurai senza padrone) e killer a pagamento, sono un formidabile esempio di narrazione per immagini, un concentrato di tensione "coltivata" dai lenti ritmi nipponici, che poi "esplode" nei velocissimi duelli, spesso privi di dialoghi e dal grande impatto emotivo. Se a questo aggiungiamo il background culturale minuziosamente curato, il “bushido” (codice dei samurai) ottimamente assorbito e il tema della vendetta, molla del protagonista e filo conduttore della saga, capirete perché definiamo imperdibile questa opera di Kazuo Koike e Goseki Kojima.
