Dark Horse Announces Guest Of Honor - KAZUO KOIKE! for SDCC 2013
SDCC: DARK HORSE GUEST OF HONOR—
KAZUO KOIKE!
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 (Lone Wolf and Cub) 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.
Look for New Lone Wolf and Cub
on sale in 2014!

He's a tough son of a b****: A fifty-year-old steelworker who smokes, drinks, and never complains, even when he's in pain. After a persistent headache sends him to a doctor for the first time in his life, Bob learns he's facing the end. With disease ravaging his body, Bob soldiers on at home, at work and in an alternate Spaghetti Western reality in which his real-life antagonists become actual villains. Now Bob will stare down death the only way he knows how - with grit and determination - as he struggles against the ghosts of his past and the desire to leave something behind for his wife and daughter.
