The Art of Usagi Yojimbo: 20th Anniversary Edition

by Stan Sakai

The Art of Usagi Yojimbo: 20th Anniversary Edition Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the tradition of celebrated collections The Art of Sin City and The Art of Hellboy, Dark Horse is proud to showcase the work of multi-award-winning artist Stan Sakai in The Art of Usagi Yojimbo.

Stan Sakai's beloved creation, Usagi Yojimbo, first saw print in 1984. Twenty years and multiple awards later, The Art of Usagi Yojimbo provides an in-depth look at the history of the rabbit ronin, showcasing the cartoonist's meticulous illustration and design as well as his painstaking research into 17th-century Japan. Featuring many rarely or never-before-seen pieces of art along with two stunning color sections, this lush hardcover is an overdue addition to the bookshelves of any Usagi fan or admirer of the comics medium.

Review:

"Usagi Yojimbo is an enduring work." Will Eisner

Review:

"Not only are Stan Sakai's stories engaging, action-packed, and well-crafted, but his drawing is so superb that it is something most of us can only aspire to." Lynn Johnston

Review:

"Rendered with a grace that verges on the miraculous, Usagi Yojimbo is a delicate echo of a Japan that is vanishing forever." Alejandro Jodorowsky

Synopsis:

Timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the creation of Sakai's signature character, Usagi Yojimbo, this stunning hardcover is printed on high-quality paper stock and features scores of never-before-seen pieces, a long out-of-print 12-page primer illustrating how Stan creates each of his Usagi stories, 48 full-color pages of Stan's beautifully painted artwork, and more. Additionally, some of the biggest names in comics pay tribute to their favorite rabbit ronin in a fantastic gallery section, with pinups by Frank Miller, Sergio Aragones, Jeff Smith, and Matt Wagner, among others! An overdue addition to the bookshelves of any avid Usagi fan or admirer of the comics medium, The Art of Usagi Yojimbo is destined to become a treasured piece in many collections.
