Usagi Yojimbo

Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo has been a cornerstone of Dark Horse's publishing since 1997, following the ronin Miyamoto Usagi through a meticulously researched, anthropomorphic version of feudal Japan. As both writer and artist, Sakai crafts a singular, long-running samurai epic that balances historical gravitas with quiet humor and masterful brushwork, earning it a revered place in independent comics.
