Usagi Yojimbo Book 5: Lone Goat and Kid (New Edition)

Now in a new softcover printing with a newly-designed cover!

This fifth volume collects the epic-length "Blood Wings," in which Usagi battles a fearsome clan of ninja bats, while "Lone Goat and Kid" offers a cunning and affectionate parody of the famous "Lone Wolf and Cub" manga while doubling as one of Usagi's most dramatic and heartfelt adventures. "Frost and Fire" and "The Way of the Samurai" provide the psychological drama of this volume, which is rounded out by one of the most unique Usagi tales ever, "A Kite Story," which doubles as a fascinating look at the daily life and work of a 17th century Japanese kite maker, dramatically showcasing the thoroughness of Sakai's research and his skills as a storyteller. Featuring a foreword by the legendary Stan Lee!

142-page black & white 6" x 9" softcover • $14.95

Can I buy the comics in condensed books? Or do I have to buy them all individually?

[fantagraphics]

chrisnorris1x, what you're looking at here is the condensed book version. We published the first 7 volumes (this is #5) and Dark Horse has published #8-22 (with #23 coming soon). We'll also be putting out a deluxe 2-volume hardcover set collecting Books 1-7 with a bunch of bonus material this summer.

I have this book; it's actually not as interesting as the other volumes released by Fantagraphics.

How do I go about collenting these? Do I have to be a subscriber to Dark Horse etc. or can I buy them at a general book store?
