Bought, and read the first edition. (Which is basically the same book with a different cover. I kinda prefer the old character heavy cover.) I'd say this book has some of the more unique stories of Usagi. Some may scoff at the idea of "Space Usagi" at first, but even if you aren't a sci-fi fan, it still feels like a samurai story, and has the heart of Usagi in it. "Senso," is basically a non-canon "Usagi meets War of the Worlds" story, which is surprisingly good, emotional, and has some surprising twists. "Yokai" is a treat for fans of Japanese monsters, as it's a full color story, with many colorful mythical creatures in it. Usagi is a great series, and these are some of the strangest, (in a good way) and pretty creative stories, with great art, humor, emotion, and even some sad moments. I recommend this for new and old Usagi fans alike.
About the author
Stan Sakai was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and now lives in California with his children, Hannah and Matthew. He received a fine arts degree from the University of Hawaii and did further studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has appeared on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created Space Usagi, the adventures of a descendant of the original Usagi, dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragonés's Groo: The Wanderer, the Spider-Man Sunday newspaper strips, as well as for Usagi Yojimbo. He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. Usagi Yojimbo Book 12: Grasscutter was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland.
