Usagi Yojimbo #6

A storm-tinged confrontation takes center stage on this 1996 Dark Horse issue, with a imposing cat warrior — clad in flowing robes and bearing a drawn sword, marked by a lightning-bolt emblem — looming large over a determined rabbit samurai in blue armor who stands his ground with hand on hilt. The tension between these two rivals crackles against a windswept, darkened sky, perfectly setting the mood for a story titled "Lightning Strikes Twice." Stan Sakai's cover work delivers that distinctive blend of feudal Japan atmosphere and anthropomorphic charm that makes Usagi Yojimbo such a compelling series.
