Usagi Yojimbo #155

Stan Sakai's cover for issue #155 sets a tense woodland scene: the rabbit ronin Usagi stands alert in his blue kimono, both swords drawn, while two defeated bear-like figures lie scattered at his feet amid fallen blades. It's a quietly confident image that signals the start of "The Secret of the Hell Screen," a three-part story that suggests intrigue and danger ahead. Dark Horse's long-running series continues to deliver Sakai's distinctive anthropomorphic feudal Japan with real craft and care.
