Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Heh... was already in my sights

I assume you got it. Congrats, I was in a meeting today and couldn't get home to bid in time. Very cool poster.

Larger versions of this poster were displayed in the Madrid Metro system, and one on canvas was on a fence outside of the convention venue. There was also a 30 foot image hanging on the convention center.

I have the one on canvas, and have been using it as a booth backdrop at the San Diego Comic-con for the past couple of years.

Speaking of posters, did everyone here get their Usagi Yojimbo #100 cover promo poster last year from Dark Horse?

Were the posters sent out to retailers rolled or folded at the center???

(trying to figure out if there are any flat/unfolded ones out there...)

I believe they all got shipped flat with cardboard backing. How mine remains still sealed up (for now).

They were shipped flat to retailers. If you do have one of those, take it out because the acids in the cardboard will eventually "burn" the poster paper. There is no big hurry to do this, because we're talking a couple of years depending upon storage conditions. But do take them out eventually.

We did give a few away through the Dojo Boards, and those were sent out rolled in mailing tubes or were picked up at the San Diego Con.

phew! good to know, thanks!

I wondered if they were originaly shipped folded with a crease in the center. So there's definitely flat ones floating out there!

Thanks Stan! I was curious because Dark Horse folded one of the Groo posters a few years back and that was 11x17. But then again that was more of a "Dark Horse Insider" shipping list with a Groo poster on the other side so that one had a crease.

Wow, that is so cool the Usagi Posters were available here at the boards!

(I wish I joined the Dojo sooner!)

Does anyone have a list of Usagi Yojimbo prints/posters/Lithographs that have been released over the years?

Thanks!

Here's a good place to start.

I wouldn't be surprised if Steve had a complete list.

Wow, these are nice! Thanks for the link.

This print I noticed wasn't on there:

Is there another section where it might be with any others?

I was editing my post when you replied. I found Steve's list (SCROLL UP).

One of the few posters I'd like, but have never seen.

Cool thanks! Usagi Yojimbo had tons of releases through the years!

The one with the front and back covers of UY 47 & 48 look impressive too.

I was able to track down the Usagi Yojimbo #100 promo poster cover and it should be headed my way. (hopefully UPS won't bend the shipping tube this time....very scary how they handle packages...agh! )



Thanks for the list!
