Authored by a writer known only as Shintaru and illustrated by Karl Comendador, Kenja the Last Ninja appeared in Ninja Pocketkomiks (published by Atlas Publishing Co., Inc.) from issues #1 to 97 (August 1985-June 24, 1987).
ENTER THE NINJA
When Morito, a Japanese man living in the Philippines, is murdered for his half of the map to Yamashita's treasure, his brother Kenja, a ninja who has the other half of the map tattooed on his back, seeks revenge against the Dakuza crime syndicate.
SKILLS AND WEAPONS
A master of Ninjutsu, Kenja is an expert in the arts of stealth, unarmed and armed combat, employing traditional ninja weapons such as the katana and the shuriken.
In a later adventure, Kenja was handcuffed to a burning plane and was forced to cut off his left hand to escape. He then has it replaced with a prosthetic steel hand.
Kenja's new hand is equipped with razor-sharp claws, is impervious to bullets and most damage, and can punch with superhuman force.
