Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

I thought it would be fun to start a thread where everyone can post scans and photos of rare Usagi appearances and promo items. I'm mainly doing this because I sold off my collection of cameos, pinups, etc, several years ago, and wish I had thought to scan those pages first!

So, who's got scans of Usagi in Patrick Rabbit? Or the cameo in Gwim Bear?
Or tip-in plate and endpaper art from the limited hardcovers?

Please post anything you've got in this thread.

I'll start out by (re)posting the as yet unreprinted one-pager "Ninja Hunt", from the More Funds Comic collection, 2003. Thanks to Steve Hubbell for tracking it down.

Here are the two Myspace Usagi stories, Saya and Cut the Plum. Still viewable at Dark Horse's Myspace page, but all in one place here.

Here's another one-pager I found in another thread, from a convention program:

Check out some of the cool stuff posted here.....

Other Comicbook Characters by Stan Sakai

Here are some of my personal favorates.....

that was a great idea to share these rarities here.-thank you, guys!I wouldn't have known about some of these otherwise.I love the usagi meets godzilla piece;)....made me laugh inside!;)

Thanks for that link, Steve, I didn't know all that stuff was here.
Here's the Gwim Bear cameo I mentioned.



And the Usagi-fish appearance in Fish Police:

Tomoe and an amoeba

Here are all the Swimsuit Issue pinups plus a piece from Stan's self promo kit.

I miss Amazing Heroes Swimsuit editions-- and Amazing Heroes as well.

Those were the days

where have these beach comics been published?I like the idea behind these things...to me it's like the creators make ittle side projects to show how our/ their beloved creations could experience something that everybody is familiar with, a situation we all seem to know from anual summer vacations and so forth....makes me smile...

Those were from the Amazing Heroes Swimsuit Specials, an annual special when AH was published by Fantagraphics. They were fun issues with art from a diverse group of comic book guys drawing everything from Marvel superheroes to independent creations. I miss those.

I have never heard of that before, sounds like fun!somebody should bring things as these back;)...
the usagi fish cameo is very funny, too!;)hahaha, I had to look for quite some time to find him;)

Here's one I found on the Dojo Facebook page. Back cover to PARA KARMATRÓN: Y LOS TRANSFORMABLES #3



And a pinup from Reed Gunther:

Oscar González Loyo's PARA KARMATRÓN: Y LOS TRANSFORMABLES #3 was published by Ka-Boom Studios in Mexico, the same place the pin-up below was published.



Unfortunately, just what publication this pin-up was published in is a mystery to me.

I'd never seen Stan's "Great Wave off Kanagawa" tribute before. I like that! (I'm currently using the original painting as the desktop background image on my computer.)
