Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most acclaimed comics of the last 30
years. It deserves as wide an audience as possible. This is a
sturdy set, well constructed and respectfully designed. It's hard
to imagine any comics reader who doesn't already have these stories
would regret having this on their shelf.--Tim O'Neil "The A.V.
Club"
I don't think I'm exaggerating at all when I say that Stan Sakai is
arguably the greatest living comic book creator in the world, and
Usagi Yojimbo is a thirty-year masterpiece that has a consistency
and craftsmanship that other comics only touch when they're at
their peak.--Chris Sims "ComicsAlliance"
