    A PRICE TO BE PAID IN PAIN AND BLOOD
    Wergelder: In Germanic law, the money paid by a murderer or his family to the victim’s family in atonement. A mysterious deal goes down on a remote island known as a red light pleasure district. An insane fight between a blonde sniper and an assassin in a Chinese dress brings up questions about who the players are in this deal. A group of misfit yakuza gets caught in the crossfire while trying to get in on the deal, or at least find out what’s being dealt. At the center of it all is a woman who has been wronged in the worst imaginable ways. She will have her revenge. The Eisner award-winning creator of Blade of the Immortal, Hiroaki Samura, presents a new badass thriller with some very bad ladies!

    Praise for Die Wergelder 1

    Praise for Hiroaki Samura:
    "Samura's work will thrill you, engage you, and even horrify you like no other artist working in film or print today." -Geof Darrow
    "Samura's stark b&w drawings combine precision and a gritty, gestural line in riveting, powerfully expressive illustrations. [Blade of the Immortal] is a considerable work of art." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
