DARK HORSE TO PUBLISH SAMURAI EXECUTIONERDark Horse Comics has announced plans to publish Samurai Executioner, the precursor series to the ronin saga Lone Wolf and Club. Coming from the same acreative team of Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima, Samurai Executioner will be released as a 10-volume series scheduled to begin in June. Before Koike and Kojima created the Lone Wolf and Cub character Itto Ogami, they brought to life Kubikiri Asa, better known to Lone Wolf and Cub readers as Decapitator Asaemon. In the Lone Wolf and Cub series, Decapitator Asaemon, equal in ability to Itto, was known as the bearer of the sword Onibocho and was the man in charge of testing weapons for the shogun. The Samurai Executioner series is based on the Decapitator, chronicling his life before his fateful duel with Lone Wolf. "For the past 15 years Dark Horse Comics has been a leader in bringing the highest quality manga to the world," said Dark Horse president Mike Richardson. "We are proud to present another masterwork from the creators of the greatest manga saga ever, Lone Wolf and Cub. Fans of that series, and fans of manga in general, will revel in this early work from Koike and Kojima." Samurai Executioner will be presented in the Lone Wolf and Cub 4 x 6 format with a similar price point expected.
