Description: "A samurai lord has bartered away his newborn's organs to forty-eight demons in exchange for dominance on the battlefield. Yet the abandoned infant survives thanks to a medicine man who equips him with prosthetics--lethal ones with which the wronged son will hunt down the multitude of demons to reclaim his body one piece at a time and confront his father. On his journeys the hero encounters an orphan child who claims to be the greatest thief in Japan but who can't seem to steal his heart."--Page 4 of cover.
Notes: "Originally serialized in Japanese as Dororo in Shukan Shonen Sunday, Shogakkan, 1967-68 and Boken O, Akita Shoten, 1969"--Title page verso.
