Usagi Yojimbo #103

In "The Darkness and the Soul, Part 1," a mysterious illness strikes two young lives in the quiet countryside, leaving even the compassionate priest Jizonobu baffled. When a healer named Ibaraki claims to have cured one boy, the arrival of Lord Goyo and his ailing daughter brings the crisis to a head. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue continues the richly drawn world of Usagi Yojimbo with quiet tension and deep atmosphere, all rendered in Sakai’s signature style—cover by Stan Sakai.
