Stan and Usagi in Belgium (Usagi Yojimbo with flip covers)

Post by Steve Hubbell »

With the recent mentioning of the upcoming cover appearence of Usagi Yojimbo on the back-cover (flip-cover) of Diamond Comic Distributor's Preview catalog, It made me wonder about the chance of Dark Horse Comics releasing a number of issues of Usagi Yojimbo also featuring flip-cover style back cover art showcasing full-color interpretations of Usagi Yojimbo by some of Stan's contemporaries as well as some of the better fan art which has been produced. Something along the lines of what Enigma has been doing with the Dutch Usagi Yojimbo releases in Belgium....

I like the fact that the back covers contain the Usagi logo instead of an advertisement. It's classy. Still, additional artwork would be a welcome change.

That cover for number 14 sure looks really cool! 8)

Here is a link to an on-going Usagi Yojimbo thread on a Belgian comic forum with some recently posted sketches by Stan from his signing in Brussels:
