Usagi Yojimbo #74

In "Hokashi, Part 1," Usagi Yojimbo and Jotaro team up with Katsuichi-Sensei and Shinji on a journey to Kitanoji Temple, where a mysterious Hokashi—traveling entertainers with a hidden edge—unexpectedly crosses their path. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this installment blends quiet tension with the subtle drama of a world where every traveler has a story, and not all performances are for show. The cover, also by Stan Sakai, captures the eerie stillness of a moment just before the truth unfolds.
