"In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of nuclear war to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage marauders rule the broken ruins of civilization, terrorizing and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release. One day, a wanderer appears out of the wasteland to bring justice to the guilty and hope to the people--a warrior named Ken, a man who bears seven scars upon his chest and holds the secret of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken, the Divine Fist of the North Star!"--… (altro)
I first read some of this series back in the late 1980s and even managed to write a college paper about it my senior year, though I don't remember what class it might have been for. I thought I'd check it out again since my local library has some of the new Viz Signature editions.
It's pretty much how I remember it, as lone hero Kenshiro wanders a post-apocalyptic wasteland on a vague quest that constantly brings him into contact with hangers-on or weak villagers needing protection from the many gangs that maraud and pillage. Being a true hero, he always intervenes, and being a bit of a Superman with his invincible secret martial art acupressure techniques there is little doubt that he will persevere. The only real question is how gory and imaginative the deaths of his opponents will be. Answer: Very.
It gets pretty goofy, but it's still fun in its way.
I'll pick up a couple more from the library, but I could see myself losing interest in this fairly quickly.
FOR REFERENCE:
There are multiple, distinct works labeled Fist of the North Star Volume 1. This version is the Kyūkyokuban Edition.
Contents: Chapters 1-13 -- Special Commentary: The Birth of Fist of the North Star by Nobuhiko Horie, the original editor ( )
