PORTLAND, Ore. 08/30/2024 — Image/Todd McFarlane Productions is pleased to reveal an exciting, highly collectible Todd McFarlane variant cover for the upcoming Knights vs. Samurai by fan-favorite actor David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), with art by Federico Mele, and colors by Ulises Arreola.
There will also be a 1:50 incentive copy version of the McFarlane variant that will feature McFarlane’s signature.
Knights vs. Samurai follows the journey of Sir Charles Ward (known as ‘The Dragon Butcher’), who is a knight grappling with self-doubt and grief while leading a legion of royal warriors on a noble mission. Celebrated for his knighthood and leadership, The Dragon Butcher embarks on a quest to a mysterious island in the Far East. Accompanied by a diverse group of fighters—including a giant and two clerics—he seeks vengeance against the savage monsters responsible for ambushing a group of English missionaries. However, upon arrival, Sir Charles discovers a startling truth—the so-called “savage monsters” are a regiment of highly skilled warriors unlike any he has ever encountered.
