Publication
The story spans at least three 5-issue miniseries, the first of which appeared in 2005 and was collected as a trade paperback a year later:
- Samurai: Heaven and Earth (with Ron Marz and Luke Ross, Dark Horse, 144 pages, 2006 ISBN 1-59307-388-7)
It included a rare prelude for the first time in color and art done by other artists, along with the 5 issues.
The second miniseries began in December 2006 and ended in mid-2007. The trade paperback was published late in 2007.
In late July 2007, Darkhorse started its Myspace Darkhorse Presents Online Comic. The first issue contained a short Samurai: H&E comic, which takes place betweenn issues 2 and 3 of Volume 1.
The third miniseries has yet to begin at this point.

Famous quotes containing the word publication:
“Of all human events, perhaps, the publication of a first volume of verses is the most insignificant; but though a matter of no moment to the world, it is still of some concern to the author.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
