Description
Mythical tales of bloodshed set in a Feudal Japan that runs rampant with spirits both demonic and heroic fighting for the fate of their world, from acclaimed creator Saverio Tenuta.
The Scarlet Blades, the first in this collection, is the tale of Raido, a young amnesiac Ronin-a masterless Samurai-who roams Japan in a quest for his memories. His first stop is the city that talks to the sky, the ultimate stronghold against the ice invading the land of the rising sun. There, he meets Meiki, a graceful puppeteer and storyteller with a secret history of her own.
About the Author
Saverio Tenuta was born in Rome in 1969 and studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. He began his career as a graphic artist and later attended the International School of Comics in Rome, where he would also teach. In addition to contributing to the magazine Heavy Metal, he worked for DC Comics on JLA: Riddle of the Beast. In 2006, the first of his own series - which he wrote and illustrated - the Japanese medieval adventure The Legend of the Scarlet Blades was released in France by Humanoids. He expanded the Legend world in 2014 with Izuna, which Tenuta wrote while Carita Lupatelli took over the drawing duties. More series within the Legend universe are forthcoming.
