Usagi Yojimbo is a superb graphic novel series featuring a wandering, master-less samurai (or ronin) in feudal Japan. The fact that the samurai is a rabbit in a feudal Japan populated by anamorphic cats, dogs, pigs, bats, rhinos, fox and so on adds to rather than subtracts from its charm.

While the Usagi books are all good (yes, I own them all), Seasons is my favorite. Stan Sakai's skills as a story teller and artist are on full display in these four stories. It is an example of just how good a story telling medium the graphic novel can be. Seasons is a great place to start if you are thinking about checking out the world of Usagi Yojimbo. I doubt you will be disappointed. ( )
