Usagi Yojimbo #35

Stan Sakai's cover for issue #35 sets an atmospheric nocturnal scene: the rabbit ronin Usagi stands alert and ready, katana drawn in one hand and a glowing purple paper lantern raised in the other, while a menacing demon creature crouches on the rooftop above him amid a field of bamboo stalks. The contrast between Usagi's determined expression and the lurking supernatural threat overhead captures the mood of "The Mystery of the Demon Mask, Chapter 2" perfectly. Fans of Sakai's richly detailed feudal Japan setting will find this Dark Horse Maverick entry a compelling blend of samurai action and ghostly folklore.
