Samurai

Barry Blair’s Samurai is a seven-issue Malibu series from the late 1980s, a self-contained martial-arts epic that follows a lone warrior’s path through a feudal Japan-inspired world of honor and conflict. Written and illustrated entirely by Blair, the comic stands as a focused, creator-driven vision, blending stark linework with a gritty samurai aesthetic before the era’s major manga boom. Its concise run makes it a distinctive artifact of Malibu’s early publishing identity, offering a complete, no-frills tale for fans of the genre.
