As a fan of samurai fiction (to the point of having a Seven Samurai
tattoo) and comics, I can't recommend Stan Sakai's beautifully
drawn, note-perfect reinvention of the genre highly enough.--Kevin

I don't think I'm exaggerating at all when I say that Stan Sakai is
arguably the greatest living comic book creator in the world, and
Usagi Yojimbo is a thirty-year masterpiece that has a consistency
and craftsmanship that other comics only touch when they're at
their peak.--Chris Sims "ComicsAlliance"
