Lone Wolf and Cub

Post by Daimyocam »

Lone Wolf and Cub is set to equal standards with Usagi Yojimbo in my opinion. Ogami Itto is one of the most honorable samurai i have read about. Although he may be an assasin, he has a purpose for what he does. I have always wondered what would be the outcome would be if Ogami Itto and Usagi were to hold a duel. That would be interesting.

They SORT OF did have an encounter-- Lone Goat and Kid. I get the feeling that if a proper contract were offered on Usagi, he'd be in a pile of trouble. After all, in a recent cross-posting, Ogami Itto bested the combined armed forces of the Northern Hemisphere :wink:

What was his purpose again? It's been a while since I read Lone Wolf & Cub. I always have admired Frank Millers cover art on that series.
