The Phoenix's weekly Digital Spy preview gives an exclusive look at Garen Ewing's Julius Chancer story from issue #75.

The Rainbow Orchid creator's one-off tale 'The Secret of the Samurai' sees the historical research assistant and antiquarian adventurer embark on an escapade that takes him into the depths of Japanese history.

Chancer must discover a lost legendary artefact when an exhibition of the Daizen Armour turns out to be in possession of a fake.

The character is the star of Ewing's acclaimed Rainbow Orchid series.

The Phoenix #75 also features continuing Simon Swift and Troy Trailblazer stories, with Adam Murphy chatting to legendary assassin Hattori Hanzo in his latest Corpse Talk instalment.

The issue also features a special Corpse Talk Ninja Board Game.

The Phoenix #75 will arrive online and in stores (for £2.99) from tomorrow (June 8).
