More Usagi


Easiest to answer the comments from the previous post here!

1) I would love to do the colour Mirage comics. However, those comics are a bit more expensive and harder to track down. It is achieveable and I may look to do so when I have enough issues for a 5th Usagi Dark Horse bind.

2) I did design the title pages myself. I also added an an image to the back of each title page. I have posted the below photos of each title page of the four volumes. There aren't any 'bonus' pages. I could have included the

3) I didn't see the need for a contents page - everything is Stan Sakai and the spine of the volume lists the issues contained in each bind.

4) I have attached some of the story pages. The margins are quite slim compared to the other binds I have. The book binder (a big shout out to Darren for all his help) glues the comics together so must first 'tidy them up' and a certain amount is lost on the margin - but still perfectly readable.

PS - thanks for showing an interest!

Thanks for the additional photos, they just make me all the more envious! Ha ha!

I was wondering if there was more to the answer #2 than what you posted, it last sentence ends kind of sudden....

"I could have included the "

By a content page, I was thinking more of a list of story titles for what was included in each volume.

I have posted your photos and comments on the Facebook page of the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo as well links to your blog. They have already received quite a few comments from a usually pretty quiet group.

As far as the Mirage volume goes, you could always include the three color specials published by Fantagraphics, and the the Green Persimmon Color Special from Dark Horse. There have also been several short Usagi stories published in other comics.

On your other binding projects, did you add any partial comics or stories from comics which contained several unrelated stories?

Anyways, thanks again for sharing this really cool project, it is a very impressive set of books!
