If you're unfamiliar with this multiple Harvey and Eisner winning comic for all ages, then what rock have you been living under?! Get your history lesson right here.
About this Author
Reviews
"These bittersweet adventure stories offer entertaining reading, especially for young Asian-Americans who feel excluded from mainstream juvenile literature."
"I don't think I'm exaggerating at all when I say that Stan Sakai is arguably the greatest living comic book creator in the world, and Usagi Yojimbo is a thirty-year masterpiece that has a consistency and craftsmanship that other comics only touch when they're at their peak."
"One of the most original, innovative, well-executed comic books anywhere to be found."
"I've just finished the fourth Usagi Yojimbo trade and the fifth is sitting next to me... If you're like me, throw away your preconceptions about anthropomorphic comics and get on board. As a fan of samurai fiction (to the point of having a Seven Samurai tattoo) and comics, I can't recommend Stan Sakai's beautifully drawn, note-perfect reinvention of the genre highly enough."
