MILWAUKIE, Ore., (March 20, 2018)—Stan Sakai’s iconic series Usagi Yojimbo has been an ongoing epic masterpiece for nearly four decades. And with the rabbit ronin, Miyamoto Usagi’s appearance in Nickelodeon’s TMNT last summer and the option for his own TV series, now is the perfect time to introduce a new audience to the way of Sakai’s anthropomorphic samurai!

Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #1 presents a clean entry point for new readers to hop onto this classic series beloved by fans and critics alike. The beginning of this new arc finds Usagi on his way to see Inspector Ishida, a friend who he’s already solved several mysteries with. Usagi and Ishida are quickly pulled into a strange new case when they find two corpses mysteriously stripped of all identification—except for a talisman that leads to a startling discovery!

While this new arc is the perfect entry for new readers, longtime fans of the series can rest assured that The Hidden continues right where the original Usagi Yojimbo left off!

Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #1 (of seven) goes on sale March 21, 2018, and is available tomorrow at your local comic shop .

“Stan Sakai is able to spin a web of emotions with few words... nothing is lost as each sentence has a meaning and purpose towards the larger narrative. The art is equally gorgeously simple... a must read for any comic book fan.” —Graphic Policy
