usagi is one of the first books I read. as a japanese american kid my grandparents took me to comic book stores to get the new issue whenever they dropped. I have a few signed books by Stan from meeting him at japanese cultural days and festivals. one of the only comics that I come back to and have a heavy level of nostalgia for.
I can't remember exactly when I discovered UY. I'm pretty sure it was the Playmates toy commercial for TMNT. I've been hooked ever since. It is my absolute favourite comic book. Groo is my #2, which I discovered earlier.
Cool interview.. about the Netflix animated show.. the only time it got interested for me is when the real samurai Usagi appeared.. I'm not interested with the young character that much..
I love Usagi Yojimbo. Stan Sakai seems lovely too in his interviews. I'm glad you talked to him.
Yeah, it was a blast chatting with him.
Such a legend and giving artist, still have my Usagi #1 signed by him in the 90's
😲
Stan is a genius!!! hands down.
100 percent!

Stan is amazing, and Usagi is one of the characters ever created

A family tree of Usagi through the ages?! Holy Cats, I live for that kind of thing!!!
Yeah, I hope it happens!
Great interview
Congrats! Another great conversation with a true legend!
Thanks dude!
I just ordered my first few Usagi Yojimbo trades. Can't wait to start reading the series.

Ive never really got into Groo. I'll have to check it out. Love UY though.
25:00 I kinda liked the black and white comics… because I’d color them in myself😅
I was a kid and teen, 😅🖍️🎨🌈
Haha thats crazy!
Awesome 👍
Thanks!
Great interview! I'd love a more mature Usagi animated series that follows the comic.
I hope that happens also.
Which comics should I be picking up? Just the Dark Horse Comics or the IDW with the Turtles? I don’t know where to start?
You can really start anywhere. But, if you wanna start at the beginning. I would recommend the Fantagraphics Slipcase.
