Usagi Yojimbo- collecting it all...

[Spot the Tokage]

I currently own Usagi Yojimbo vol. 1-7. (vol. 8-19 are on the way ) I had a question about catching up to the current UY issues. The Dark Horse catalog says UY #19 collects 69-75 (is that right?). Is it correct then that I'd need #76-93 to catch up? Or is DH mistaken?

thanks for any help

I'm not sure about the particular issue numbers, but I do know that volume 20 is coming out in July, so you really don't need to buy all those issues unless you can't wait.

Hello Steve, Todd, Go, and whoever else,

So which one of you is the most complete UY collector? Do any of you own every issue listed? Just curious.

Peace,

maka

[Stan Sakai]

The book collections run about 2 years behind the comics. Book 20 is scheduled for July, and collects UY 76-82 which came out in 2004-05.

The Mother of Mountains will be published in 2007, followed by Tomoe's Story in 2008.

[Fanfan]

Steve,
could i paste infos you just gave on the french usagi forum ?

[estee]

Steve...I've said this a billion times already...but hey...you are too cool for school, man.

[Spot the Tokage]

Just got #76-79 and #81-93 on eBay. The seller didn't have #80 in his store. Back to searching for 80...

Peace,

maka

Going off the list I posted above, I have everything listed except the two Limited Edition Hardcovers from Fantagraphics, and the copy of the Dark Horse Book 11: Seasons which I gave my copy of to my nephews a couple years ago. Actually, I don't own any of the Fantagraphics or Dark Horse trade collections.

As far as who has the most complete collection? my guess would be Todd or go. I know Todd has one of those cool Westfield Newsletters, among other things....

Steve,
could i paste infos you just gave on the french usagi forum ?

Help yourself, a lot of it was included in the word file I had sent you last year, it has just been updated and I finally got around to listing which stories were in which book. I think I might have added some notes to some of the titles as well.

[go]

Dear Readers,
Our mighty Shogun must have the most complete collection.
Thank you all for the fun!
Best wishes,
go
ps. I am looking for these Usagi Yojimbo items:
Previews: Sept.96 vol6#9, Nov 96 vol 6 #11, Dec 96 vol 6 #12, March 97 vol. 7 # 3., & "Scott Rosema’s Land of Kaliodonia on the World of Brevon" 8/1/98 (said to include something by Sensei Sakai, but i can't find ia copy...). Any help finding these books will be greatly appreciated.
pps. There is a Patrick the Rabbit meets Usagi story that is also great!

You are referring to this one?

ARROW COMICS
AUGUST
issue: 1 August/1998 b/w comic
* Pin-up (featuring Scott Rosema’s character August) 1 page
art: Stan Sakai

Just to be clear, "August" is the title of the comic....
http://cgi.ebay.com/AUGUST-1-1998-ARROW ... dZViewItem
I am envious. From your post above, it would appear that you have 8 of the 12 issues of Previews in which Green Persimmon ran. I have the pages from the first 4 issues only.

Can't forget that cameo appearence of Usagi in Phil Yeh's Penguin and Pencilguin #1 either.

Just got #76-79 and #81-93 on eBay. The seller didn't have #80 in his store. Back to searching for 80...

Your retailer might still be able to order it directly from Dark Horse. If not, try www.mycomicshop.com or www.milehighcomics.com Both are trustworthy online venders.


As for complete collections, I have all the Usagi issues plus all the comics featuring Usagi prior to vol. 1 #1. However, I don't have a lot of those guest appearances in other comics and magazines that happened after 1987, and I'm still missing the Radio Comics Art of Usagi #2 and all three sketchbooks. I also don't own any of the tpbs as I prefer reading the original comic books.

I agree that Todd must have the most complete collection. After all, he's been keeping tabs on most of these merchandise items and appearances as they were released.

Who's going to write the introductions for Books 20, 21 and 22?

[Mayhem]

I've got all the main Usagi comics here (Fantagraphics, Mirage, DH, Summer Specials, Space Usagi etc), nicely bagged and boarded. When I get the time (and money), I'll try going after the Albedo and Critters issues, but for now, the trade collection does nicely to read those

[Spot the Tokage]

What are the Albedo and Critters issues? Were they collected in a TPB? And are they part of the continuity?
