Sixteenth-century Japan is never so entertaining as in Stan Sakai s tales of Miyamoto Usagi. NPR s Best Books of 2014
Stan Sakai has successfully brought to American comics a collection of Japanese fables well told in the American style. Usagi Yojimbo is an enduring work. Bravo. Will Eisner
I think Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most original, innovative, well-executed comic books anywhere to be found. Stan's style of artwork, his crisp incisive writing, and his thoroughly professional pacing, all done in a relaxed and absorbed manner, have provided comics with something so rarely seen in this field a new literary and artistic approach to illustrated storytelling.
