All I know is what was written in an intro to the
first translated volume - Kazuo Koike, still alive after 
the artist Goseki had long passed away, at first 
was reluctant to continue the story without his
old collaborator... but then Hideki Mori came along 
and Kazuo felt like he was the spiritual successor 
to Goseki, asked Goseki's wife for permission 
to continue the book, and that's all I know ;)

Hideki Mori's art is fantastic, and does have a remarkable
similarity to that of Goseki Kojima.
