Usagi™ Yojimbo No. #8

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!

In “A Mother’s Love,” Usagi pauses in his travels to help out an old woman, and in return she offers him shelter for the night. Discovering that her son is a gangster bleeding the town dry, Usagi tries not to become involved, but that proves impossible when the old woman asks him to stop the gang!

“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.”
