Dark Horse to Debut “Lone Wolf and Cub Gallery Edition” in 2018

Posted on December 17, 2017 by Graphic Policy Team

Kazuo Koike’s samurai epic Lone Wolf and Cub has long been considered a masterpiece of graphic fiction. And Dark Horse is thrilled to announce the release of the oversized gallery edition coming in 2018!

Lone Wolf and Cub is a staggering, sprawling epic, and a tour de force of storytelling, both in the complex, emotional narrative of writer/creator Kazuo Koike and the explosive kineticism and subtle expressiveness of artist Goseki Kojima. Featuring Kojima’s spectacular illustrations at original size on heavy-stock art paper, the Lone Wolf and Cub Gallery Edition is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of the finest comic art ever created. Reproduced from high-resolution full-size scans of the original art created over forty years ago, fans will have the opportunity to experience this spectacular body of work in as close to its original format as has ever been possible.

Lone Wolf and Cub Gallery Edition HC goes on sale May 23, 2018.

SDCC 2013: Dark Horse Announces Guest of Honor – Kazuo Koike!

Posted on July 10, 2013 by Brett

Dark Horse is proudly celebrating twenty-five years of manga publishing in 2013 by bringing legendary Japanese creator and Eisner Hall of Fame inductee Kazuo Koike to San Diego Comic-Con!

Last week, Dark Horse announced New Lone Wolf and Cub during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, in which series creator Kazuo Koike continues the greatest samurai manga epic ever!

New Lone Wolf and Cub is an eleven-volume series that picks up right at the end of Lone Wolf and Cub—which left Itto Ogami’s son Daigoro on a blood-strewn battlefield. What will happen now to the young child with the gaze of shishoogan—the eyes of one who has come in from death, across countless scenes of slaughter?

As original artist Goseki Kojima has passed away, Koike entrusts Hideki Mori (winner of the 1995 Shogakukan Manga Award for Bokko) to depict again this age of honor, adventure, and brutality. Dark Horse’s best-selling series of all time (over one million copies sold) now continues with New Lone Wolf and Cub!

Koike will be signing at the Dark Horse booth, #2615, Thursday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., as well as Friday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.!

Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus Vol. 1 is available in bookstores everywhere.
