Each move has brought with it a new #1, but the comic has reached #165 at its current and most stable home. The adventures of Sakai’s ronin rabbit were published by Fantagraphics Books in the late 1980s and Mirage Publishing in the early 1990s, and have resided at Dark Horse Comics from 1996 to present. If you include his various miniseries like Space Usagi, we’re talking more than 250 issues almost wholly produced by Sakai, who even does the lettering. The creator-owned title has reached the territory of series such as Dave Sim’s Cerebus and Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon. Usagi Yojimbo enjoys a distinction that not many comic book titles can claim: it has had 225 consecutive issues written and drawn by one creator, Stan Sakai. ![]()
