She was talking about reading it all again earlier today, but I don't know if she has the series. I know I don't, though I've read it (bless libraries... if I ever come into a great deal of money, a sizable portion's going to public libraries ) and will sometime again, if I get ahold of it.

Lycaon Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Pride of Baghdad I have (and its fucking awesome). If she hasn't read it, I'd be more than hapy to introduce her to it. As for Lone Wolf and Cub, I don't have it, but I've been curious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 IN you're always pimpin' lone wolf and cub, It sounds really cool i love GOOD samurai stuff, but it's manga, and i can't stand manga art, i find there's no freedom for the artist. Is the art typical crap manga art? If it is, is it still worth me gettin' it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 No, and yes. Im having a bitch of a time finding sample art for some reason, the old thread is here though. If by typical crap manga art youre referring to big eyes, hands on the hips, overexaggerated expression etc, id argue that there's some samurai books youre missing out on devoid of this, Blade of the Immortal (heavy on the manga action) and Vagabond, which i cant recommend enough after LW&C as its the telling of Miyamoto Musashi's life and the art's amazing. To answer your question though: this book was written in the 1970s, so i dont think the art style youre fearing applies here. Its landscaping is lush and detailed (quoting artist Kojima: "I always say, you have to create drama - even when you draw a tree or a stone."), and the long, silent action scenes were very ahead of their time, my opinion. If you can deal with the small print (my blind ass did) and cost (its a cheap series but long), i assure you, if you dig samurai stories, this is the one that all others follow.

Newtype Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I agree with Nick on this. You can't go wrong with this book. I also have to throw in Akira as a must have read. Yes it manga but the story will blow you alway. Irish whatever became a manga fan after reading my copys. Say ASC but just what kind of books do you enjoy reading.
