One of the most critically acclaimed, longest running, and beloved adventure comics! The eighth volume in Stan Sakai's prestige Usagi Saga collection includes three major storylines: ''Two Hundred Jizo, '' in which Usagi and Inspector Ishida team up to solve a double murder; ''Thieves and Spies, '' where Usagi joins forces with a thief and a samurai to thwart a black-market Ginseng trade; and ''The Hell Screen, '' a thrilling tale that finds Usagi working alongside his natural enemy--a kappa--to cast out a violent renegade of the same species. Stan Sakai's evocative artwork and gripping tales continue to enthrall readers of all ages. Collects issues #139-#158 of Usagi Yojimbo Volume 3, "The Artist" and "Buntori" from Usagi Yojimbo Color Special #5, and the bonus story "Sukanku."

About the Author
Stan Sakai was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and now lives in California with his children, Hannah and Matthew. He received a fine arts degree from the University of Hawaii and did further studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has appeared on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created Space Usagi, the adventures of a descendant of the original Usagi, dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragonés's Groo: The Wanderer, the Spider-Man Sunday newspaper strips, as well as for Usagi Yojimbo. He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. Usagi Yojimbo Book 12: Grasscutter was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland.
