Usagi faces all these and more when a desperate woman begs for his help in finding her kidnapped daughter. In his quest to find the girl, he encounters these creatures of Japanese legend, who need a living soul as the captor for their army to enter the world of the living. Fortunately, Usagi is joined by Sasuke the Demon Queller, who fights for the same cause. However, things aren\u2019t always as they seem, especially when dealing with the supernatural!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYokai is my most ambitious project to date&#8211;writing, drawing, and painting a standalone story that is a good introduction for new readers and expands on the Usagi storyline to appeal to longtime fans. I also had a great time researching the folklore and legends of Japan from its malevolent spirits to its goofier creatures,\u201d says creator Stan Sakai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLongtime Usagi Yojimbo designer Cary Grazzini and I were tossing around ideas for Usagi\u2019s 25th anniversary,\u201d says editor Diana Schutz, \u201cand Cary commented that he would love to see Stan hand-paint an original story. Fans don\u2019t often get to see Usagi in color, much less painted by Stan himself, so the standalone graphic novel seemed a perfect way to celebrate this special anniversary. And painted color will bring the fantastical creatures of Yokai to outstanding life!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With beautiful watercolor art and story by the masterful Stan Sakai, this new mass-market hardcover graphic novel is a perfect introduction to the beloved samurai rabbit for first time readera and a must-own for any Usagi fan!<\/p>\n<p>Usagi Yojimbo: Yokai arrives on shelves this November!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ENGLISH] Dark Horse tells us: JUNE 1, NEW YORK, NY \u2013 Hailed across the world for his unparalleled storytelling,
