Usagi Yojimbo Volume 29: Two Hundred Jizo Stan Sakai

Marc Notes: Usagi Yojimbo is considered key in the world of comics, and an important link between the manga comics of Japan and the superhero comics of the US. The series' creator, Stan Sakai, first started drawing Usagi in the early eighties. Roaming an anthropomorphic version of feudal Japan, the rabbit samurai has no master, but takes on tasks from any aggrieved animals he encounters - always ensuring he sticks to the noble way of the samurai.
