Usagi Yojimbo Winter Special delivers Three All-New Stories

Posted on by Leave a comment

Dark Horse Comics and Dogu Publishing offer fans of the legendary rabbit ronin a winter special unlike anything before. The Usagi Yojimbo Winter Special One-Shot is a collection of three all-new stories from three creative teams including Usagi Yojimbo creator Stan Sakai and colorist Emi Fujii, Chibi Usagi creator Julie Sakai, and the creative team behind Usagi Yojimbo: Kaitō ’84, Zack Rosenberg and Jared Cullum. These three stories arrive in January 2027.

While learning to shape decorative Dorodango spheres according to ancient tradition, Usagi learns a lesson about patience, practice, and purpose, a reminder that simple beauty can take a lifetime to perfect. 

For Kaitō and Yu, the holidays deliver more than they bargained for when an orphanage’s Christmas Eve dinner is hijacked by a local street gang. It’s a high-speed, high-calorie chase through the snowy streets of Osaka that leads to a messy conclusion. 

Elsewhere, chibi woodcutters struggle to prepare for the New Year celebration dinner. But one snowy night, an act of kindness leads to an extraordinary surprise.

Celebrate the many shapes the legends and stories of Usagi take in Usagi Yojimbo Winter Special One-Shot when the comic arrives in comic shops on January 27, 2027, for $5.99.
