Usagi Yojimbo (Vol. 1)

    (Fantagraphics, 1986-1996, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2015)
™ and ©1991 Stan Sakai

Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo is a lighthearted adventure series starring a rabbit samurai named Usagi. Usagi lives in an alternate version of Middle Ages Japan, where a collection of animals has grown up in place of humans. These cartoon critters take on the roles of everything from samurai to shopkeepers. These characters, when combined with Sakai’s clever storytelling, add up to a cult favorite.

This black-and-white title eventually went color in a second volume published by Mirage Publishing. Usagi has also starred with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and reached for the stars in the fanciful Space Usagi titles.
