An unabashedly provocative mix of political and social satire, it tackles such touchy subjects as racism, violence, and sex with a self-deprecating humor, personal honesty and light-hearted goofiness rarely found in a newspaper comic. The result is accessible yet subversive, compassionate and political, without being preachy. Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, Knight's drawing style is fluid and dynamic, and his great strength is the deftness of his wide-ranging wit-simultaneously light-hearted and wild, clever and conscious. * Knight's award-winning art has appeared in various publications worldwide, including Salon.com, ESPN the Magazine, Funny Times, L.A. Weekly, MAD Magazine, and others.

PATH OF THE ASSASSIN VOLUME 12: THREE FOOT BATTLE TP Publisher: Dark Horse Comics Writers: Kazuo Koike Pencils: Goseki Kojima Covers: Goseki Kojima The march continues as Japan's future shogun moves to the center of Japan to claim it as his own. But along the way he'll have to deal with intense and complicated politics, strange and sometimes perverted fighting techniques, and a rapidly changing samurai culture in old Japan. And often the history of Japan all rests on the wiles of shogun-to-be Ieyasu's clever and loyal ninja, Hattori Hanzo. Lone Wolf & Cub creators Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima are experts at weaving an intense and sometimes oddly sensational yarn, and this quasi-historical tale of a young man's rise to the top of samurai politics doesn't pull any punches. * Volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.
