Samurai Penguin - 40th Anniversary Edition

In 1986 Samurai Penguin debut to a stunning presale number of 77,000 copies, and launched upstart SLG Publishing on a 40 year run of producing quirky and idiosyncratic comic books.

Samurai Penguin's mission is simple: protect the Antarctic colony from sharks, walruses, the odd terrorist, and whatever else dares to invade the peace of this group of flightless birds.Created by Dan Vado and Mark Buck, Samurai Penguin mixed deadpan comedy, oddball action, into one of SLG's earliest and strangest calling cards.

This 40th Anniversary Edition collects the original early issues featuring artwork by co-creator Mark Buck. Funny. Weird. Violent in the way only a tiny armored bird can be.
