D'oh! I know which ones you didn't list! :lol:
Yep, Stan must have forgot about those puppies...

Were not issues #46 & #47 wrap arounds that also went together to form one big poster? I am fairly new to the Usagi world, so I am not 100% positive. Would those count?

Actually I just posted the rough version that inspired the UY 119 cover. Go check it out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Does Stan sell roughs of covers? I really love that rough for UY 119 and would happily add it to my slowly growing office wall of Usagi if there was a possibility it was available. Both versions are just fantastic!

Thanks!

That's the answer we were waiting for. 8)

Send me a PM with the address were you would like your "Usagi Yojimbo Book 22: Tomoe's Story" promo poster to be mailed to.

I'm hard-pressed to believe how any cover besides #101 could possibly win. Jeisagi just rocks the planet.

Stan never ceases to amaze me, great cover! Periodically I'll take a picture of an online image, such as this fantastic cover, and use it as a wallpaper on my phone. They translate really well in that form and are a good way to introduce folks to characters like Usagi. This one is a given.


(My apologies for my absence, I've been moving across town and its taken me the better part of a month to get everything packed and moved. Now that I'm finally moved in I hope to sit back and unwind with some great Usagi tales.)
