The popular Deluxe Editions of Dark Horse Manga titles have captured the enthusiasm of manga and graphic novel fans across the globe. Now, Dark Horse Manga presents the highly anticipated Lone Wolf & Cub Deluxe Editions, which will present the beloved series in stunning, oversized hardcover volumes, displaying the classic tale at a larger size.

Ōgami Ittō, once the shogun’s executioner, has fallen from grace after false accusations by a rival clan. With his wife murdered and with his three-year-old son to protect, he chooses the path of the ronin, the masterless samurai. Together, the lone wolf and his cub wander feudal Japan. All roads will lead them to a single destination—vengeance.
