Usagi Yojimbo #27

In "A Ghost Story," Usagi Yojimbo and Yukichi take up the defense of Shizuye, a woman fleeing deadly pursuers whose plight eerily mirrors the fate of Midori—a spirit said to wander the nearby woods. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, with inks and lettering by the creator himself and colors by Hi-Fi Design, this haunting tale blends quiet tension with the supernatural, all rendered in Sakai’s signature style. The cover, also by Stan Sakai, captures the story’s somber mood with its stark, evocative imagery.
