In a dystopian not-too-distant future in Japan, Hiro lives with his father on an island populated by androids, where they eke out a meager existence while trying to keep out of sight. But when they run afoul of a troop of high-tech military thugs, Hiro's dad sacrifices himself to save his son, turning Hiro's already-bleak world upside-down. He is then rescued by a samurai robot called a "yojimbot," and together they seek to avenge his father's death and make contact with a mysterious associate known only as the "rights holder," before the soldiers and their drones close in...

Sull'autore
Repos Sylvain
Having graduated with a Master's degree in visual art at La Sorbonne, Sylvain Repos has always been attracted by comics. His main references are Katsuhiro Otomo and Moebius, but also more contemporary artists like Rick Remender and Brian K. Vaughan. It is through works like "Akira," "Blade Runner," or "Mad Max" that he finds his inspiration. With "Yojimbot" (Dargaud 2021; Europe Comics in English), his first graphic novel, Sylvain Repos offers readers a thrilling post-apocalyptic tale where robots reign supreme.
