In his wandering, he often encounters much more than he bargained for, getting caught up in sword fights, mysteries, and even unlikely romances along the way. (If Pixar and the late Akira Kurosawa were to collaborate on a movie, it might very well look like this.) Featuring iconic anthropomorphic characters, gorgeously rendered settings, exquisite plotting, and tongue-in-cheek humor, this series is a treat for all ages.\n\nStan Sakai began his career by simply lettering comic books while he perfected his art and began working in the industry. He also wrote and illustrated \u003cem\u003eThe Adventures of Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy\u003c\/em\u003e, a comic series with a medieval setting influenced by Sergio Aragones's \u003cem\u003eGroo the Wanderer\u003c\/em\u003e. The characters first appeared in \u003cem\u003eAlbedo\u003c\/em\u003e #1 in 1984 and were subsequently featured in issues of \u003cem\u003eCritters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGrimJack\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAmazing Heroes\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eFurrlough\u003c\/em\u003e. However, Sakai became famous with the creation of \u003cem\u003eUsagi Yojimbo\u003c\/em\u003e, the epic saga of Miyamoto Usagi, a samurai rabbit living in late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth-century Japan.\n\nThis collection features 9 issues of the \u003cem\u003eUsagi Yojimbo\u003c\/em\u003e comic book series by Stan Sakai: Fantagraphics: #1 \u0026amp; 2 (color special), 11, 30, 31, 33, 35; Dark Horse: #55 \u0026amp; 78.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut Of Print.
