We just lost another legend guys.

Kazuo Koike--author of Lone Wolf and Cub, Crying Freeman, and Mad Bull 34--died on Wednesday. Reports say the cause was pneumonia, which also took Monkey Punch away.

I don't actually know who this guy is. Perhaps you could put it in the OP so we could mourn too?

Perhaps you could not be an illiterate nigger and read the post?

Mad Bull 34 was the most fascinating take on American cop movies that I've ever read.

RIP

Not to be disrespectful or anything but do we really need a new thread for every time an industry person dies? We do have a news thread.

Yeah, like, who cares if your modern author died.

Lone Wolf and Cub really stuck with me back when it came out in graphic novels in the States. It's been a sad month.

They are leaving before Reiwa.

Consider his massive influence, yes we do. You think anyone would give a shit if he was just some blurb in a thread people barely post in?

Oh come on, this is not fair, too many good old authors dying in such a short period of time. I really liked wolf and cub.

Except this thread probably won't get past 50 replies at best, and people "barely post" in the news thread because the news is being discussed in threads like these instead of there.

That's the fault of retards not being read up on the classics and those who helped lay the foundation of the medium.

Thanks for proving my point.

And Koike is more than just "some industry guy". Look at the body of work he left behind. Look at the wave of author's he influenced. Look at who he collaborated with.
