Sixgun Samurai

In the mid-2000s, Alias Comics unleashed Sixgun Samurai, a six-issue miniseries that fused the grit of a Spaghetti Western with the honor-bound violence of a chanbara epic. Written and drawn by series creator Jeff McComsey, the book follows a lone ronin—a masterless samurai armed with a six-shooter—as he carves a bloody path through a frontier town ruled by a corrupt sheriff and his gang. McComsey’s stark, kinetic art and lean storytelling make this a sharp, under-the-radar cult favorite for fans of genre mash-ups.
