An ancient prophecy foretold of an outsider that would save the peaceful village of Inoki from an unstoppable army—a man who would confuse the people at first with his unconventional ways, but lead them to the light.

Nathan Garin, Captain in the United States Army, known for his viciousness in battle on the American frontier, could be that man…if he weren’t such an awful, drunken idiot.


Now it’s up to Japanese-American teacher Todd Parker to warn the good people of Inoki of Garin’s true nature before he causes the very death and destruction they are counting on him to avert!

This sword-swing satire has it all—time travel, compromising situations, accidental homicide, mistaken identity, and, most importantly, laughs.

Collects White Savior #1–#4.
"WHITE SAVIOR is out today, & it's a genius concept w/ satire, heart & soul. I'm a fan of Eric's from way, way back & he's doing the work of his career here. Utterly delightful and SO worth checking out"—Pornsak Pichetshote, The Good Asian

"White Savior is a brilliant concept, it addresses an old trope with lots of sharp wit and great art."—Michael Avon Oeming

"White Savior #1 explodes one of Hollywood’s most insidious and insulting tropes rooted in the glorification of the colonial past. Working to decolonize The Hero’s Journey isn’t only the right thing to do – in the hands of Eric Nguyen and Scott Burman, it’s absurdly fun."—AIPT Comics
