Story and art by Stan Sakai.
The novel-length "The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy" is jam-packed with lethal sword battles alternating with humor, horror, suspense and slapstick. This beautifully crafted, exciting volume is a great starting point for new readers!
One of the great epics in the comic book field stars a rabbit? That's right, Stan Sakai's enormous dramatic saga of death and treachery, of ambition and honor, is the comics equivalent of Akira Kurosawa's classics such as The Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress.
This volume of the Usagi series features the novel-length "The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy," which originally ran in six consecutive issues of the Usagi comics series. Jam-packed with lethal sword battles alternating with humor, horror, suspense, and slapstick, this beautifully crafted and exciting volume features all of the most popular supporting characters from the series, including Tomoe Ame, Gen the rhino, and Zato-Ino the blind swordspig. Both an excellent starting point for new readers, and an absolute necessity for Usagi completists!
Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 180 pages, B&W.

Fantagraphics 1st Edition - Volume 5 - 1st printing. "Lone Goat and Kid!" Story and art by Stan Sakai.

'Frost and Fire' and 'The Way of the Samurai' provide the psychological drama of this volume, which is rounded out by one of the most unique Usagi tales ever, 'A Kite Story,' which doubles as a fascinating look at the daily life and work of 17th century Japanese kitemaker. Featuring a foreword by the legendary Stan Lee! Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 144 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.
