One of the most critically acclaimed, longest running, and beloved adventure comics!
The eighth volume in Stan Sakai's prestige Usagi Saga collection includes three major storylines: ''Two Hundred Jizo,'' in which Usagi and Inspector Ishida team up to solve a double murder; ''Thieves and Spies,'' where Usagi joins forces with a thief and a samurai to thwart a black-market Ginseng trade; and ''The Hell Screen,'' a thrilling tale that finds Usagi working alongside his natural enemy—a kappa—to cast out a violent renegade of the same species.
Stan Sakai’s evocative artwork and gripping tales continue to enthrall readers of all ages. Collects issues #139–#158 of Usagi Yojimbo Volume 3, "The Artist" and "Buntori" from Usagi Yojimbo Color Special #5, and the bonus story "Sukanku."
“Sixteenth-century Japan is never so entertaining as in Stan Sakai’s tales of Miyamoto Usagi.”—NPR’s Best Books of 2014
“Stan Sakai has successfully brought to American comics a collection of Japanese fables well told in the American style. Usagi Yojimbo is an enduring work. Bravo.”—Will Eisner
“I think Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most original, innovative, well-executed comic books anywhere to be found. Stan's style of artwork, his crisp incisive writing, and his thoroughly professional pacing, all done in a relaxed and absorbed manner, have provided comics with something so rarely seen in this field—a new literary and artistic approach to illustrated storytelling.”—Stan Lee
“Sakai is a total pro and a consummate craftsman.”—Rolling Stone
