That is the sixth and final issue of Usagi Yojimbo published under the King Comics imprint in Italy and edited by Alessandro Bottero. I believe it is the only issue published by them with previously unpublished cover-art. It has proven really difficult to find cover scans of all of the volumes (volme 5 ??) published in Italy by King Comics.

I think that art was used as a cover for UY vol 3, #4 (or #5), for a story titled Bats, the Cat, and the Rabbit. The story and a b&w of the cover was reprinted in UY Book 10: The Brink of Life & Death.Steve Hubbell wrote:

I must have drawn about 200 covers by now. It's easy to forget one or two.

Well, I totally missed it...
I knew it was differant from all the tpb covers, and it did not match any of the "Grasscutter" covers.
I just totally skipped over the early Dark Horse covers since most of the other King Comics covers seemed to be taken from the tpb editions.
If I had bothered to do the math, at four issues per volume starting with the Mirage issues, volume #6 from King Comics would fall right in place for that cover. duh!
Even with the page count given, I was picturing larger volumes in my mind, trying to correspond them with the Dark Horse collections.
It is still a cool cover and very much deserved a second life on another Usagi publication.
Abayo....
