REVIEW
Homer Bentley goes to confront Kamakazi, to find Toshiro. Here we see a different Homer, he seems to be modeled on Humphry Bogart. A very tough guy with a gun. Even so Kamakazi is too much for him and he's in trouble when Toshiro breaks in, looking for Homer! Between the two of them they pretty well mop up Kamakazi's forces, but even so they only manage to get back Toshiro's own sword.
The art in issue 6 is all by Pat McEown, (except for a back-up story). The back cover of number 6 has a photograph of the Aircel gang.
