Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) is regarded as one of the true masters of ukiyo-e, the populist art of Edo-period Japan. Kuniyoshi produced thousands of prints and designs during his lifetime, but is perhaps best-known for his musha-e ("warrior prints"), which propelled him to prominence around 1827-1830. Kuniyoshi's series 108 Heroes Of The Suikoden was revolutionary in its dynamics, colour and visual violence, establishing the delirious, almost proto-psychedelic style with which the artist would recreate archetypal heroes, outlaws and renegades from Japanese history and legend over the ensuing decades.OUTLAW DEATH SWORDS collects the entire 74-picture 108 Heroes series, plus Kuniyoshi's equally vivid and complex 30-picture 800 Heroes Of Our Country's Suikoden (Honchô Suikoden gôyû happyaku-nin no hitori, 1830-1836); taken together, the 104 portrait images of warriors, heroes and anti-heroes in OUTLAW DEATH SWORDS comprise a stunning selection of the art and imagination of an unsurpassed 19th century master as applied to the dazzling, hyper-kinetic and often violent genre in which he remains unsurpassed.

NEW MEXICO, 1874 - Things aren't going Richard Corrigan's way lately. One friend died during a botched bank robbery, another had to break him out of jail, and then there was the town full of corpses that weren't as dead as they looked. Things improved a little after Richard crossed over to another world, but now he's stuck in a strange place where Earth is considered a myth. Armed only with a pair of Colt Peacemakers, a Bowie knife, and his wits, Richard will have to contend with both sword-wielding lawmen that want to lock him away and an unholy Plague that can raise the dead. Can an outlaw become a force for good in order to save two worlds from destruction? God only knows... "Swords & Sixguns: An Outlaw's Tale" is the first volume in a new series that has its roots in classic stories like Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and Stephen King's "Dark Tower" universe. Combining elements of fantasy and horror with the Old West, "Swords & Sixguns: An Outlaw's Tale" details the struggles of a man given the chance to overcome his past failings when he is dropped into a world far different than the one he's accustomed to. Terrifying in some moments and humorous in others, Richard's story delivers the inspirational message that, under the right circumstances, anyone can turn out to be a hero, even someone who believes himself to be "the bad guy."
