But of course.

Like, duh!

I can't believe I didn't think of it myself (said everybody).

Whenever I consider a manga cover, I back down.
Thw wolf looks like a Frank Miller drawn Wolverine. I read somewhere that Frank loved the book, but to pretty much emulate the art...

[Paradox]

Miller was heavily influenced by lots of Manga. That much was obvious from the start. **shrugs** Nothing wrong with that. Not everyone needs to worship at the feet of Jack Kirby.

EDIT: And to me, that doesn't look like Wolverine, it looks like Toshiro Mifune.

Miller did the covers for the American editions from First and wrote introductions to the volumes, so that image is a Miller piece and yes, he was fond enough of the series to lend his name/presence to the book when it was put out by First at the peak of his popularity stemming from his Daredevil and Batman work. I remember at my lcs at the time, a lot of folks were buying/giving Lone Wolf a look because of Miller's cover and name associated with the project-I skipped it at the time because it came out just month before I was graduating and I was cutting way back on what I bought in prep for leaving for college, which in hindsight was a dumb decision on my part, as it is great stuff.

It's still in print, get onto it!

Oh, I've read it since then, I hopped on when Dark Horse started the digest-sized trade line a decade or so ago.

[Spike-X]

Ah. sorry, I misunderstood.

I have the digest-sized books as well.

You know, Lone Wolf and Cub was something that I always wanted to read, but could never commit to. On the strength of this thread, I just bought the first 3 DH omnibii. (A grand total of $13 on Amazon Marketplace, all in "Like New" condition.) Thanks, guys!

[Spike-X]

You won't regret it, I promise.

[Mart]

Not a fan of this look for him, but thought of Pa Kent:

Attachment 23816

I'd never noticed until now that the cover line seems to read 'Brainiac Party'.

[Mart]

A great issue of a great series.

[Samurai Jack]

Variant cover done by Genndy Tartakovsky
