Usagi was the star of a computer game in the 80′s (Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64). That game put me in contact with him but i only find out is comics in 1998. I have all the fantagraphics trades, DH trades until the first Grasscuter Arch and all the DH comics since n.Âº 20. The TBP are the best way to red Usagi but over the years iÂ´ve never been able to stop buying the comic.

Cheers

Usagi is currently my #1 reason to love comics. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Usagi is one of those books I never read but I’m about 90% sure I’d love. It just seems like it would be too expensive to ever catch up.

Usagi is still hanging out with the Ninja Turtles. He has had a couple of appearances in the current cartoon that are more true to his character. All of which I think were good episodes.
Oh, and I had the figure too, but the ears fell off of mine.

I think Usagi is a reason to love comics all by himself, however I think the fact that a property like this can survive to 100 issues over 2 decades is more of a reason to love comics.

I think there’s actually been two rpgs for this– one from Gold Rush written by Greg Stolze and then a newer one from something called Sanguine Productions. Unusual for a smaller licensed property.

Now if only Dark Horse would put the early UY volumes back into print so I can find the farggin’ things at a reasonable price, all would be well with the world.

Pretty amazing how consistently good Usagi still is after all those issues. Though I surely haven’t read all of them I’ve known them for years and I honestly can’t remember ever reading one bad issue. It’s a sure bet and it’s great, definitely a reason to love comics.

Thanks for continually linking to the archives, reminded me I meant to check out Tales from the Bully Pulpit, and managed to find a copy to borrow. That thing needs a reprinting, and bad.

Gotta love Usagi too.

Space Usagi was an actual comic? Wow, I thought that was just a bizarre choice by the toy company. Unless the toy came first.
