With over fifty graphic novels in print, the samurai rabbit is more
popular than ever! This is the seminal Usagi book collecting all the
classic original Usagi stories from Albedo, Critters, Doomsday
Squad, and the Usagi Yojimbo Summer Special. This is one of
Fantagraphics' very best sellers, and is also where Usagi started--don't
miss out! The setting is 17th century Japan, when the age of civil wars
has barely ended and the Shogun has established power. The samurai is
the ruling class throughout the land, following a warrior's code of
honor known as Bushido. Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 1 chronicles this time of
settling unrest and political intrigue, told through the story of a
wandering and masterless samurai named Miyamoto Usagi, aka Usagi
Yojimbo! One of the great classics of the last 20 years, perfect for all
ages.
