Presenting the earliest adventures of rabbit ronin Miyamoto Usagi in all-new full-color editions for the first time giving new readers the perfect opportunity to explore the groundbreaking series, while offering long-time fans a new reading experience. Cover art by Peach Momoko!

Usagi's cast of characters continues to expand with the first appearances of his longtime tokage (lizard) companion, Spot, and his greatest nemesis, the demented, seemingly unkillable wolf samurai, Jei! The bonds of family and the bounds of honor are tested as Usagi helps an elderly mother face the villain her son has become. When the blind swordspig Zato-Ino comes back for revenge, can Usagi still triumph after the playing field is leveled? All this, plus more adventures in anthropomorphic Edo Japan!

Begining with these early issues find out why this series has won six Eisner Awards, two Harvey Awards, an American Library Association Award and has been called by Stan Lee, "One of the most original, innovative, well-executed comic books anywhere to be found."

Wanderer's Road collects the stories "The Tower," "A Mother's Love," "The Return of the Blind Swordspig," "Blade of the Gods," "The Tea Cup," and "The Shogun's Gift" from Usagi Yojimbo Vol. One, issues #7-12, originally published in black and white by Fantagraphics from March to October 1988.

Stan Sakai

Stan Sakai began his career by simply lettering comic books as he perfected his art and began working in the industry. He also wrote and illustrated The Adventures of Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy; a comic series with a medieval setting, influenced by Sergio Aragones' Groo the Wanderer. Stan became famous with the creation of Usagi Yojimbo, the epic saga of Miyamoto Usage, a samurai rabbit living in late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth-century Japan.

The story, first published in 1984, continues to this day. It progresses with Stan as the lone author and nearly sole artist (Tom Luth serves as the main colorist on the series, and Sergio AragonUs has made two small contributions to the series- the story oBroken Ritualo is based on an idea by AragonUs, and he served as a guest inker for the black-and-white version of the story oReturn to Adachi Plain)

In 2013, Stan illustrated the limited series 47 Ronin by Dark Horse Comics Publisher Mike Richardson. He also served as an editorial consultant on Lone Wolf and Cub and has contributed to two issues of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror.He lives in Pasadena, California.Author Residence- Pasadena, California
