AKA KNOWN AS THE BABY-CART ASSASSIN!
Itto Ogami was once the official executioner for a Japanese shogun. This was a position of extreme power and was coveted by all, especially the Yagyu clan. This scheming family framed Ogami for treason, toppling him from his position, and throwing him into a state of dishonor. When ordered to commit ritual suicide (seppuku), Ogami fought back, killing all present. The Yagyu clan retaliated by killing Ogami’s wife.
Ogami now wanders throughout Japan with his infant son, Daigoro, always plotting to return and exact his revenge. Uniquely, Ogami is often forced to fight with his son strapped to his back.
Lone Wolf and Cub (Kozuri Okami) was originally printed in Japan, and was brought to the U.S. and translated by First Comics. The English edition featured cover artwork by Frank Miller
