Usagi Yojimbo #43

In "Chapter 4: Visions in the Shadows," Chizu’s true intentions come to light as she steals Grasscutter and flees toward the sea, determined to keep the blade from falling into any hands. But her path is cut short when an unknown ninja, driven by a personal vendetta, ambushes her in the shadows. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue continues the tense, character-driven story with the artist’s signature blend of quiet tension and dynamic action, all rendered in his unmistakable style. The cover by Stan Sakai captures the moment’s foreboding intensity.
