Description
The eighth volume in Stan Sakai's prestige Usagi Saga collection includes three major storylines- ''Two Hundred Jizo,'' in which Usagi and Inspector Ishida team up to solve a double murder; ''Thieves and Spies,'' where Usagi joins forces with a thief and a samurai to thwart a black-market Ginseng trade; and ''The Hell Screen,'' a thrilling tale that finds Usagi working alongside his natural enemy-a kappa-to cast out a violent renegade of the same species.
Stan Sakai's evocative artwork and gripping tales continue to enthrall readers of all ages. Collects issues #139-#158 of Usagi Yojimbo Volume 3, "The Artist" and "Buntori" from Usagi Yojimbo Color Special #5, and the bonus story "Sukanku."
Stan Sakai was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and now lives in California with his children, Hannah and Matthew. He received a fine arts degree from the University of Hawaii and did further studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has appeared on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created Space Usagi, the adventures of a descendant of the original Usagi, dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragones's Groo- The Wanderer, the Spider-Man Sunday newspaper strips, as well as for Usagi Yojimbo. He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. Usagi Yojimbo Book 12- Grasscutter was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland.
