Fans 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.

“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.
