The japanese comic series "Lone Wolf and Cub" is currently being fully
reprinted for the first time uncensored for western readers, and i can't
recommend it enough.
It first appeared in Japan about 30 years ago and an amazing lot of research
went into the story and the art. Each volume includes a glossary and history
section making it a great reference when it comes to lego.
A new 300 page volume is released each month, it is currently up to vol.2 in a
series of 28 and should be available if you ask any comic book store.
If anyone reading this is familiar with the story, do you have ANY ideas as to
how to make Daigoro's baby cart? I've been stuck on this for months (I'm not
even going to try and make the actual kid) the closest i've come is sticking
grey racing wheels (minus tread) on the bottom of a brown adventurers crate,
i'd like to have spears doubling as handles, but it doesn't seem possible.

I REALLY hope at least one other ninja fan checks the series out.
