Usagi Yojimbo #18
In diesem Band der 2021 bei Dantes Verlag erscheinenden Usagi-Yojimbo-Reihe begleitet der roninlose Samurai Miyamoto Usagi seinen Sohn Jotaro auf einer Reise. Die Geschichten vertiefen die Beziehung zwischen Vater und Sohn, während sie durch das feudale Japan wandern und sich neuen Herausforderungen stellen. Der Band sammelt die entsprechenden Handlungsbögen aus der fortlaufenden Saga von Stan Sakai.
In "Aus dem Schatten," Stan Sakai and Jens R. Nielsen deliver a gripping chapter in the Usagi Yojimbo saga, spotlighting Chizu, once the feared leader of the deadly Neko-Ninja Clan, now a fugitive hunted by those she once commanded. When she emerges to save a child, her past catches up with her in deadly fashion, while an elite assassin squad closes in on Usagi and Jotaro, believing the ronin hold the key to her whereabouts. With Stan Sakai handling both art and inks, and his distinctive style brought to life on the cover he also penciled and inked, this 2021 issue from Dantes Verlag offers a tense, character-driven tale rooted in shadow and survival.
In "Geisterkrieger," Usagi and Jotaro find themselves drawn into a perilous quest when they stumble upon a village terrorized by a ruthless former samurai. With the woods surrounding the settlement said to be cursed, the duo must uncover the truth hidden in the shadows—before the past consumes them both.
Kitsune’s return brings both mystery and danger as she and her companions, Usagi and Jotaro, find themselves targeted by a ruthless local gangster who believes she’s behind a sinister extortion scheme. With the stakes rising and the threat of violence closing in, Usagi must defend his friend with wit, courage, and his signature martial arts skill—before the past comes back to destroy them all.
In "Tamago," Usagi and Jotaro find their journey complicated by the unexpected company of a cheerful old priest named Tamago. As the trio travels, their peaceful path takes a sharp turn when they encounter a condemned merchant with a dangerous secret—and a local gangster whose reach extends far beyond the law.
In "Usagi und der Tengu," the young and spirited Usagi sets out to prove his worth against the legendary Tengu of the Northern Mountains, only to find their cunning and skill far beyond his own. When his pride meets its match, Usagi turns to his wise mentor and friend Katsuichi for guidance, uncovering that true strength lies not just in martial prowess, but in humility and understanding.
In "Sumi-E, Teil 2," Sasuke and the Dämonenbezwinger race against time to rescue the young Jotaro from a demonic artist who feeds on children’s blood to create forbidden ink. As they battle through a nightmarish realm of folklore and fantasy, every step brings them closer to a confrontation that will test their courage and resolve.
