The fifth book collecting the exploits of Usagi Yojimbo, the heroic ronin (masterless samurai) includes some of the most dramatic and exciting episodes in Stan Sakai's acclaimed series. The epic-length "Blood Wings" introduces a fearsome clan of ninja bats, while "Lone Goat and Kid" offers a cunning parody of a certain babycart-wielding duo. "Frost and Fire" and "The Way of the Samurai" provide the psychological drama of this volume, which is rounded off 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 kitemaker! With a forward by the legendary Stan Lee -- a man who knows a thing or two about heroes -- Usagi Yojimbo Book Five is another journey into the world of feudal Japan, with writer/artist Stan Sakai as your guide!
