The Sword of Samurai Cat Author:Mark Rogers Miaowara Tomokato is a hero for the '90s -- he's mean, lean, tough... and has orange fur. The Sword of Samurai Cat continues the adventures of this most awesome warrior of Japan and his nephew Shiro as they take on mad Russian zombies, vampires, aliens from outer space, and the legendary works of Stephen King, H P Lovecraft and Stephen Spielberg... more ». Samurai Cat (aka Miaowara Tomokato) is the main character in a series of books by Mark E. Rogers.
In addition to the detailed writing, almost every page in each book has a picture painted by Rogers, depicting the events described on that page. Each chapter is a bizarre parody of some historical or pop culture event, but it is always treated as entirely serious. For example, no one finds it at all unusual that Tomokato is a walking, talking, sword-wielding cat.
The basic premise of the story is that Japan's greatest warrior Tomokato is out for revenge after his master Nobunaga is killed. The group that led the attack on Nobunaga's castle was made up of characters from throughout time and space, so Tomokato travels all over the Earth and beyond to seek his vengeance (from Japan to Camelot to Valhalla to Mars, to name just a few) in the most violent ways possible, involving the deaths of hundreds of beings.« less
