Vagabond - The story of Musashi

After turning Kojak on to this particular comic, I thought the rest of you ought to know about it.

This comic is simply an illustrated book based on and adaptation of Yoshikawa's Musashi, a famed swordsman who lived in Japan in the 16th and 17th century. But more than that, the art is something that I can only aspire to. Using masterful ink strokes and crosshatching techniques, Takehiko Inoue makes you forget you are reading a comic book.
