About the series
Samurai Origines, a six-issue series from Soleil that launched in 2017, delves into the ancient origins of the iconic Japanese warrior class. The series is best known for its striking, cinematic artwork by the acclaimed French artist Olivier Ledroit, whose detailed, gothic style brings feudal Japan to life with a fantastical edge. It matters as a visually ambitious, European take on the samurai mythos, blending historical elements with the publisher's signature dark fantasy aesthetic.
