Stan Sakai’s future spin on Usagi Yojimbo launches a one-shot adventure in full color!


Cover of Space Usagi One Shot Yokai HunterFans of the legendary swordsman and wanderer Usagi Yojimbo have enjoyed countless tales crafted by the equally legendary comic creator Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo, 47 Ronin). Featuring colors by Emi Fujii (MoonKnight: Black, White & Blood, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: WhereWhen) Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter follows an all-new, full-color adventure for the rabbit ronin.

The tales of Usagi Yojimbo have been told over hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. Someone in the far future enjoys another classic adventure in the Space Usagi universe with a unique new story. Even in space, there is no shortage of dangers, warring foes, daring deeds and supernatural horrors to hone the skills of a descendant of 17th-century samurai Miyamoto Usagi.

The Space Usagi: Yokai Hunter one-shot will be available in comic shops October 11, 2023. It includes 32 pages of an entirely new Usagi Yojimbo story and measures 6.625x10.1875". It is available for pre-order now at your local comic shop and will retail for $4.99.

Praise for Stan Sakai and Usagi Yojimbo:


"Stan Sakai has successfully brought to American comics a collection of Japanese fables well told in the American style. Usagi Yojimbo is an enduring work. Bravo."—Will Eisner

"Sakai is a master of his craft."—IGN.com

"Sakai delivers on the action, humor, and layers it all with his signature mix of Japanese mythology and anthropomorphic animals."—ComicsVerse

"I think Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most original, innovative, well-executed comic books anywhere to be found. Stan’s style of artwork, his crisp incisive writing, and his thoroughly professional pacing, all done in a relaxed and absorbed manner, have provided comics with something so rarely seen in this field—a new literary and artistic approach to illustrated storytelling."—Stan Lee
