Usagi Yojimbo #1
Usagi Yojimbo #1 (2019) kicks off with a gripping tale titled "Bunraku Part One," as the wandering rabbit ronin Usagi stumbles upon a mysterious bunraku puppet show that feels far too real. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Stan Sakai—whose distinctive art and storytelling bring the world to life—this issue introduces a new thread of intrigue when Usagi reunites with his ally Sasuke, who’s tracking a supernatural danger that may be linked to the performance. The cover, also by Sakai, captures the eerie elegance of the puppeteer’s craft.
