Aruku Akumu (translated as “Walking Nightmare”) is a samurai's tale in early feudal Japan filled with dark fantasy folklore and supernatural horror. A story of honor, revenge and damnation. This comic series is a nod to the 1980's black and white indie comics explosion and a homage to the Japanese samurai horror films of the 1950's & 1960's.
