Afro Samurai is a manga series written and drawn by Takashi Okazaki, originally serialized irregularly in Nou Nou Hau from November 1998 to September 2002 and follows the life of Afro Samurai who witnessed his father, Rokutaro killed by a gunslinger named Justice while he was a child and vows to avenge his father.

It was adapted into an anime miniseries in 2007 with a sequel Afro Samurai: Resurrection in 2009, both of which starred Samuel L. Jackson in the lead. A "director's cut" of the original manga was released in December from Titan Comics' new Titan Manga, with a second volume out this week, and it looks like Jackson just got his copies.
