Lone Wolf and Cub

Lone Wolf and Cub is a Japanese manga series that was written by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Goseki Kojima. Originally published from 1970 to 1976, it tells the story of an assassin forced to take his three-year-old child on his journey to seek revenge.
Lone Wolf and Cub has since been adapted into multiple films and television series. Considered one of the most influential manga ever made, it inspired the narrative trope of a man protecting his child on a dangerous journey, which can be seen in such series as The Mandalorian and The Last of Us. It has also been cited as an influence for many comic book writers, such as Frank Miller, and animators, such as Genndy Tartakovsky.
