Usagi Yojimbo Volume 29: Two Hundred Jizo Ltd. Ed.



Usagi Yojimbo is set in the beginning of Edo period Feudal Japan (early 17th century) with anthropomorphic animals replacing humans, and features a ronin rabbit, Miyamoto Usagi, who wanders the land as a shugyosha (student warrior on a pilgramage) occasionally selling his services as a yojimbo (bodyguard). Hence the title "Usagi Yojimbo". The character of Usagi has been inspired by the famous Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi while the tone and inspirations of the stories are heavily influenced by Groo the Wanderer, Lone Wolf and Cub, and the films of the acclaimed director Akira Kurosawa. This is a signed and numbered limited edition hardcover with dust jacket cover!

Join everyone's favorite rabbit ronin as he continues his gripping exploits on the warrior's path! In this volume, Usagi teams up with fan-favorite guest star Inspector Ishida to solve a double murder at a roadside inn, then helps an allied clan protect its honor, and discovers that the soy sauce business can be as deadly as it is tasty! Featured in this collection is the story "Two Hundred Jizo," which celebrates Usagi's two hundredth consecutive appearance under the masterful pen of creator Stan Sakai!

Collects Usagi Yojimbo #139-#144, plus three additional, previously uncollected short stories: "Buntori," "The Artist," and "Sukanku"!

"For over two hundred issues in its original run, Sakai crafted a perfect samurai epic that just so happened to feature talking animals."--IGN
