Forged in heaven, it is called Kusanagi, the Grasscutter - the lost sword of the Gods. This legendary blade could potentially tip the scales of power for the shadowy Conspiracy of Eight in their quest to overthrow the Shogunate and reinstate the Emperor. With the help of a witch and the souls of dead warriors, they plan to recover the lost sword and bring the Shogun down. But when the fates place the Grasscutter in the hands of masterless samurai Usagi Yojimbo, the ronin rabbit becomes the focus of a deadly struggle for possession of the dread blade. And this crisis pales beside the dark possibilities should the sword come to the demonic warrior, Jei! Grasscutter collects Stan Sakai's longest and most ambitious Usagi tale to date: a sweeping epic showcasing one of comics' most individual artistic voices at the peak of his creative skills. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $59.95.

In 'The Demon Flute,' a village is plagued by a music-playing supernatural killer. Usagi recounts a classic Japanese folk tale in 'Momo-Usagi-Taro.' Two Tokugawa-era whodunits play out in 'The Hair Pin Murders' and 'Taméshigiri,' a pair of Inspector Ishida mysteries.

Signed, remarked, and numbered by creator Stan Sakai, limited to 400 copies. - Volume 14 - 1st printing. "Demon Mask!" Story and art by Stan Sakai. The close of 16th century Japan was a violent age, as rival feudal lords fought for land and power. Miyamoto Usagi braved many a battle only to lose his lord and find himself a masterless samurai, or ronin. While many ronin became bandits or mercenaries, Usagi chose the warrior pilgrimage: wandering the land, fighting injustice, seeking enlightenment. Eisner Award winner Stan Sakai has crafted a truly original and delightful work, an all-ages adventure epic that creates a world of excitement, mystery, and imagination, while building each story on painstaking research of Japan's history, culture, and mythology. Demon Mask is a collection of diverse Usagi stories, featuring a graveyard encounter with creatures from Japanese folktales, a whodunit clash with a mysterious masked assassin, a young adventure-lover insistent on receiving Usagi's sword training, a peasant village terrorized by a ravaging Spider Woman, and more. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 224 pages, B&W. Cover price $56.95.
