by MIKE KENNEDY and FRANCISCO RUIZ VELASCO It has all come down to this: The bodyguard Itto wages a one-man war against an army of thugs to rescue young Daisy Ogami. This is the moment for which Itto was trained. The despotic land baron Godekai kidnapped Daisy in hopes it would dissuade Itto from interfering with his enslavement of the villagers whom Itto has befriended. Godekai couldn't be more wrong. Itto has a borrowed sword and a teddy bear with which to fight Godekai's thugs, who are heavily armed with automatic weapons and explosives. They couldn't be more dead. Agents of the Cygnat Owari Corporation await the outcome of the battle to wrest Daisy from the winner. They'll be the next to die... This is the action- packed conclusion to the first chapter in the saga of Lone wolf 2100, which takes the basic situations from the classic Lone Wolf and Cub series and transplants them into a dystopian future. Produced with the full cooperation of Kazuo Koike, the writer and co- creator of Lone Wolf and Cub. On sale August 21 FC, 32pg (4 of 4) . . . $2.99 Cover price $2.99.

Volume 24 - 1st printing. "In These Small Hands!"

Written by Kazuo Koike. Art by Goseki Kojima. Cover by MATT WAGNER.

The true meaning of Bushido, the warrior code, oozes from every page of this volume. A little boy desperately attempts to drag his ronin father to safely, even if it costs him his own life; that same wandering samurai and his mortal enemy work together to save the frostbitten fingers of the same little boy, knowing they will eventually match swords again in a battle to the death; another samurai bites his own tongue, killing himself and locking a dark secret in his grave. The code of the samurai is complex and rich with irony, which is why so few carry this code through life. But as we draw closer to the conclusion of this epic struggle, the true bushi are stepping forth and showing their colors. It will truly be a fight to the finish. So, in these final days, a ronin and his young boy will visit the grave of their murdered wife and mother. It just might be the last Spring the two will share, like the many petals falling from branches.
