I like this cover a lot. The horror/supernatural UY stories are some of my favorites, so I'm really looking forward to "Traitors of the Earth." Another Sasuke story is most welcome (does he remind anyone else just a tiny bit of Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane?).

Nothing like the sight of your favourite hero putting the smackdown on an army of the living dead.
I know Sakai-san can sometimes be sneaky with his covers, but this is the one time I hope he really delivers on what this image promises.

Definitely cool!
Quick trivia question:
I have a Book 22: Tomoe's Story promo poster for the first person who can name four publications which featured wrap-around Usagi Yojimbo covers......

Actually I just posted the rough version that inspired the UY 119 cover. Go check it out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Now, how am I supposed to get rid of the extra posters you sent me when you go and do this?
Or, does this mean you want one of the posters back?

That is good!
I had to see the large version to understand why the one zombie was sayin' somethin' slightly differant. At first, I thought it was the equivalent of a lettering typo, then I checked out the larger image and had to laugh!!!

I know I know. I just couldn't help myself. But I did think of a solution. I'm going to continue the contest. Whoever can first guess the last remaining UY comics with wraparound covers will get the poster from Steve. Those ones I did not know by memory, just that they existed. I am not going to mention how many there are.

Stan Sakai (in his LiveJournal) wrote:I have done almost 180 Usagi Yojimbo comics in my almost 25 years, but only 4 or so issues have had wrap-around covers.
D'oh! I know which ones you didn't list!
