- Biografia breu
- Though widely respected as a powerful writer of graphic fiction, Koike has hosted television programs; founded a golf magazine; produced movies; written popular fiction, poetry, and screenplays and mentored some of Japan's best manga talent.
Lone Wolf and Cub, created in collaboration with Goseki Kojima, was first serialized in in 1970 (under the title Kozure Okami) in Manga Action magazine and continued its hugely popular run for many years, being collected as the stories were published and reprinted worldwide. Koike collected numerous awards for his work on the series throughout the next decade. Starting in 1972, Koike adapted the popular manga into a series of six films, The Baby Cart Assassin saga, garnering widespread commercial success and critical acclaim for his screenwriting.
Koike and Kojima were dubbed the "golden duo" on the manga world for their many successes.
And to give something back to the medium that gave him so much, Koike started the Gekiga Sonjuku, a college course aimed at helping talented writers and artists break into the comic field.
The driving focus of Koike's narrative is character development, and his commitment to character is clear: "Comics are carried by characters. If a character is well created, the comic becomes a hit." [adapted from Assassin's Road (2000)]

As with previous issues story is broken between Lady Snowblood's revenge (hunting down the remaining two criminals that have killed her family - last chapter is pretty emotional for our protagonist as she decides to help the daughter of the last criminal to gain freedom and move away from the criminal underworld - thus showing Lady Snowblood's ability to discern between her revenge and sparing innocent lives; she is scalpel not a hatchet when it comes to hunting down her family's assailants) and missions she takes from other people along the way (first chapter and killing of the blackmailing photographer).
There are few scenes here that are pretty explicit but again nothing that is that much different from previous volumes.
Art as always is great although first chapter is rather difficult to grasp (due to the rain acting as a stage for the events). There was one funny moment in the same chapter too when Lady Snowblood is .... let's say engaged with the head nurse and gunshot is heard so she jumps up, alarmed. It seems like there is additional leg in the panel :)
In the end after avenging her family's destruction it is obvious that Lady Snowblood now can only act as a hired sword - for one who dedicates whole life to a single goal can only proceed along that same direction.
Highly recommended to all fans of action thrillers.… (més)
