Usagi Yojimbo #126

In "Nukekubi," Usagi Yojimbo finds himself delayed by a chatty old widow, pushing his journey past dusk and leading him to take refuge in a remote mountain hut. There, he encounters a peasant whose quiet demeanor hides something far more unsettling than a simple night’s rest. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue continues the series’ blend of folklore and samurai grit, with Sakai’s distinctive art and storytelling on full display. The cover, also by Sakai, captures the eerie stillness of the moment.
