question
Question for Lone Wolf & Cub fans: I've got the complete set of comic book format issues, which stopped at a random point in the story. Can someone tell me which *manga* volume picks up the story from there?
Thanks for any help!

It is really hard to do a issue by book comparison since the stories published by First in comic format did not come out in the correct sequence.
*The numbers in brackets which follow some of the story titles indicate which issue of the original First Comics edition of Lone Wolf and Cub those particular stories appeared in.

Wow. Steve, thanks for the detailed analysis, this information is not available on Wikipedia, Dark Horse web pages, or anywhere else I searched! Looks like if I want to read them in the "correct" order, I need to buy almost all the manga editions . . .
