Usagi Yojimbo

In 2018, Dantes Verlag launched a new chapter for Stan Sakai's iconic ronin rabbit, Usagi Yojimbo, with a single issue that paired Sakai's celebrated art with co-writer Jens R. Nielsen. This German-published installment continues the long-running saga of Miyamoto Usagi, a masterless samurai wandering a fantastical version of feudal Japan. While brief, the issue underscores the global reach and enduring appeal of Sakai's meticulously researched, Eisner Award-winning creation, which has defined anthropomorphic historical adventure for decades.
