Thought this might be fun considering the 100+ issues of UY and the soon to be 25 TPB's.
Favorite Single Issue Cover: UY# 75
Jotaro is one of my favorite characters and this cover is simply stunning. It says so much about the story without using words and it's a great example of why Mr. Sakai is a master cartoonist/comic artist. When you have a cover that's good enough for Dark Horse to exclude the "Usagi Yojimbo" logo, you know this is something special.
Favorite TPB Cover: Book 3
As a young kid, I walked into a local comic shop in Hawaii with my dad wanting to get some kind of super hero comic. Instead, my eyes caught a glimpse of a rabbit samurai and a green lizard backed by a red-orange-yellow burst of color. It was irresistible. That was the beginning of my UY fandom and that book will always be my favorite cover.
What's your favorite Usagi cover?

Piggybacking here...
Just picked up #139 and the auburn/sepia tones are great. (I have a bit of trouble with red/green, of if I'm off, don't get upset.)
-In the letters section, there was something about a recent Usagi frog cover - to which issue does that refer?
-Will the cover gallery be updated soon?
Thanks!

Usagi Yojimbo #134 is the cover with the frog which was given to Ryan Hill.
Geez.... which is my favorite cover?
Talk about a very difficult question to answer, probably as hard as picking a favorite Usagi story, actually more so since there are more covers than there are stories.
UY #47 & UY #48 featuring the double wrap-around kite festival has definitely got to be my all around favorite pair of covers!

UY #47 (Dark Horse)


UY #48 (Dark Horse)
If I don't count wrap-around covers, then these two would be my choices for favorite covers.....
. 
UY #93 and #99 (Dark Horse)
But, if I count "other" stuff, then these would have to be added to the list....

UY #14 (Enigma)

UY #10 (Enigma)
This has to be one of my favorite book covers......

Usagi Yojimbo: Samuraj (Epix)

My parents' mailman came to a signing I did in Hawaii, and bought the original art to that cover.runnah4life808 wrote:
