Usagi Yojimbo: Ice and Snow #5
In "The Village," Usagi Yojimbo and his companion Yukichi stumble upon a quiet settlement of cat people, their serene facade hiding a far more sinister truth beneath the snow. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue unfolds with quiet dread as the true nature of the villagers begins to surface after dark—rendered in striking detail by Sakai’s distinctive art and the evocative colors of Hi-Fi Colour Design. The cover, also by Sakai, captures the eerie stillness of the scene, hinting at the darkness that lies just beyond the surface.
