Taking the path of an assassin for retribution the father-son duo, Ogami Itto and Daigoro, travel across feudal Japan taking assassin jobs and pursuing the art of death. Lone Wolf and Cub was a joint project by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima about a disgraced shogun executioner who is hell-bent on seeking revenge for the transgressions committed against his family. This is straight-up disrespectful and seeing that put this review to the top of my list. When I picked up volume 1 at Barnes and Nobel it was at the bottom of the shelf. This series is massive and for its storied history, I would consider it to be an underappreciated epic graphic novel. Moreover, for a manga to be written in the 70's and be followed up by having a TV series, over 5 movies, and various spinoffs just speaks to the genre-defining display of writing and drawing found within all 28 Volumes, and yes you read that correctly TWENTY-EIGHT VOLUMES. Rumor has it that Hollywood will be making a movie based on manga/graphic novel as well.
Lone Wolf and Cub is credited with influencing big-name titles from The Mandalorian to Bobs Burgers, both of which have had major success.
Lone Wolf and Cub has been a favorite read of mine for several years and re-reading it was sublime, as with graphic novels I always notice something I missed the first read around. With manga becoming more and more mainstream over the last fifty or so years it is important to review a historical epic that has a massive amount of influence on authors and creators from all over the world. Lone Wolf and Cub is a little different from what I normally read with this being the first manga I have reviewed.
