Usagi Yojimbo #15
In "Prologue," the first issue of Usagi Yojimbo's 2002 series from Dark Horse, Stan Sakai crafts a tense, character-driven start to a larger arc. As Usagi, Gen, and Sanshobo journey toward the Atsuta Shrine with the legendary Grasscutter, two rival ninja clans—the Neko Ninja and the Komori Ninja—close in, each seeking to claim the sword for their own. With Sakai handling every aspect of the art and lettering, the story unfolds with his signature blend of quiet drama and escalating stakes.
