Satsuma Gishiden
The Legend of the Satsuma Samurai. Vol. 01
Milwaukie, Or. : Dark Horse Manga, 2006.
Format: Book
Description: 260 pages : chiefly illustrations ; 19 cm
Readers with a taste for Kazuo Koike's gritty Lone Wolf and Cub will go nuts for master gekiga artist Hiroshi Hirata's tome of samurai struggle. Hirata's art and calligraphy leap off the page during scenes of action, only to unfold upon a full bleed that looks like a fine plate print. It's art at its most expressive, accentuating the classic stoic samurai characters you've come to know, only with a little more true society thrown in to help the reader understand what it was really like to be a warrior without a war.
