In "Cooking Lesson," masterless samurai Usagi Yojimbo stumbles upon Dr. Takenoko, a determined inventor in feudal Japan whose flying machine—inspired by forgotten Italian sketches—may finally take flight.

Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue blends quiet moments of humor and craftsmanship with rising tension, all rendered in Sakai’s signature style, with cover art by Stan Sakai.
