Usagi Yojimbo #135

Usagi Yojimbo #135 brings Stan Sakai's beloved rabbit ronin to the fore in a cover that radiates quiet menace — the white-furred samurai crouches in a wide combat stance, drawn sword ready, his expression steely and focused. Behind him, a great grey owl swoops with talons extended, wings spread wide, while small reptilian creatures lurk in the misty landscape beyond a shoji screen. With the story titled "The Return of the Lord of Owls," this 2011 Dark Horse issue promises a collision between Usagi's grounded warrior discipline and something far more wild and unpredictable.
