The Usagi Yojimbo Saga

Collecting Stan Sakai’s acclaimed samurai rabbit saga in a series of oversized, value-packed volumes, The Usagi Yojimbo Saga (2014–2021) from Dark Horse reprints the epic wanderings of Miyamoto Usagi across feudal Japan. Spanning ten thick issues, this definitive edition gathers years of Sakai’s solo-written and -illustrated stories, featuring the ronin’s encounters with allies like the stoic Tomoe Ame and the bounty hunter Gen, as well as recurring foes such as the malevolent Jei. A masterwork of cartooning and historical storytelling, the series showcases Sakai’s singular vision—meticulously researched, emotionally resonant, and as influential to anthropomorphic adventure comics as it is to the samurai genre.
