Stan Sakai’s original series starring the rabbit ronin is available online for the first time as part of Dark Horse’s complete digital presentation of Usagi Yojimbo!

Usagi learns that “a girl does what she has to to get by” when he meets a street performer who also turns out to be a talented pickpocket, in “Kitsuné.” The two get off to a bad start when Kitsuné steals Usagi’s purse, but soon they must set the theft aside when a pack of brigands threatens the village they’ve stopped in!

Also in this issue, a young Usagi learns the first lesson of being a warrior the hard way, in “Gaki”!

“I have been cartooning for over forty years and have followed the work of comic-book creators from all over the world. There is a handful of them that I always read with enjoyment, and Usagi Yojimbo is one of them.”
