General discussion about Usagi Yojimbo, the comics, the stories, the characters, collectibles, TV appearances, Stan Sakai, Space Usagi, Nilson & Hermy, and all other related topics.
Well, just over a year ago we asked for a collection of Usagi covers, and now we're getting it!
At 320 pages, it should be pretty comprehensive. I wonder if it includes the Fantagraphics run as well? Seems like that page count should be pretty close to what we'd be at with: Fantagraphics, Mirage, Dark Horse, color specials, Space Usagi, Senso, TMNT/UY (including variants), trades, and Saga covers.

That makes sense, seeing as how he isn't the same character. Well, that means 9 more pages for other stuff!
And a quote from Facebook:
As a companion to 2006's The Art of Usagi Yojimbo, Dark Horse will publish Usagi Yojimbo: 35 Years of Covers in November.
Too bad I lost Go's eBay auction last week for the "Art of" hardcover, as it would be a better match than the softcover version I have. Haha, first world problems.
I also hope this means it'll match the dimensions of the "Art of" book, as that's a great size for not being too cumbersome, but still showing off the art at a larger size.
