Dark Horse Presents ‘Usagi Yojimbo Saga: Legends’ 2nd Edition For March 2024

Welcome to the table,

I’m a big fan of Usagi Yojimbo. As a kid my favorite of all the Ninja Turtle stuff I had was my samurai rabbit action figure. It looked totally badass, with samurai armor leg and arm plates, katana, and a sword staff making it ready for any backyard battle that come up. I was in my mid-teens when I finally learned about Stan Sakai‘s comic, but that rabbit action figure went almost everywhere with me.

Now the iconic rabbit rōnin is back in a new edition of Usagi Yojimbo Saga: Legends from Dark Horse Books. This 2nd Edition volume contains over 500 pages of renowned Usagi Yojimbo creator Stan Sakai’s enduring samurai masterpiece. It features rich stories celebrating Japanese history, culture, and mythology along with a newly painted cover by Sakai himself and a full-color cover gallery!

This is a quintessential companion to the Usagi Yojimbo Saga series from Dark Horse, Usagi Yojimbo Saga: Legends collects some of the most exhilarating and engrossing self-contained stories starring the iconic rabbit rōnin. These tales see Miyamoto Usagi face off against a lineup of incredible foes, including dinosaurs, demons, and aliens! Even against the odds, Usagi maintains the warrior’s code: truth, honor, loyalty, and sacrifice.

This volume collects all black and white Space Usagi story arcs, Usagi Yojimbo: Senso, and the color Usagi Yojimbo: Yokai—with the color short story “Gagged,” new cover art by Stan Sakai, a color cover gallery, and bonus creative process features. This is a beautiful new presentation of one of the most critically acclaimed, longest-running, and beloved adventure comics.

The Usagi Yojimbo Saga: Legends (Second Edition) trade paperback will be available in bookstores on March 19, 2024, and in comic shops on March 20, 2024. The book contains 560 pages of an epic Usagi Yojimbo story and measures 6.625×10.1875”. It is available for pre-order now on Amazon at this link, Barnes and Noble at this link, and at your local comic shop and bookstore and will retail for $29.99.

Until next time, I really need to find a version of that figure again. I think about it way more than I realized.
