Since I fall into that strange group of comic fans that have only found a few comics that they enjoy reading and collecting, I have a fairly unique way of buying my Usagi comics. 1. I buy the comics (floppies) when they are published. 2. I buy the collected editions when they are published. (#30 coming this summer  ) 3. I buy the omnibus editions when they are published. 5. I buy the foreign language translations when they are published. * * I have complete runs of Usagi Yojimbo in French, German, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Croatian, and Dutch. I am still looking for three of the four Usagi Yojimbo books published in Indonesia. I question your commitment to the series. |

Just a perfect combination of finding a series I enjoy reading and one that is diverse enough to make collecting interesting. I also collect prints, posters, signing cards, and original artwork related to the series. |

I'm not a huge foreign language collector, but sometimes looking at how familiar books get printed else where is pretty fun. Have you noticed any interesting changes in the foreign prints of Usagi? The German language Elfquest albums are so much nicer than the American series was. I had three growing up, gave them to my sister. I'm tempted to buy the series off eBay. |

What are the few other comic series you like? I have been reading and collecting Sergio Aragones' Groo the Wanderer since '84 or '85. Love everything Sergio draws.
I have a full run of The Goon comics by Eric Powell, have yet to read a bunch of them.
I believe I have most of the Hellboy comics and short story appearances, but not much of the spin-off series. I have not read very many of them yet.
Really enjoyed the Beasts of Burden stories by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson, and the Sabertooth Swordsman stories by Damon Gentry and Aaron Conley (would love to see an on-going series made out of both of these).
My enjoyment of Usagi Yojimbo led me to check out Lone Wolf and Cub, and I have become a fan of everything I could find by Koike and Kojima including the Samurai Executioner and Path of the Assassin. Currently buying the New Lone Wolf and Cub series from Dark Horse (Not the Lone Wolf 2099 or whatever).

It's Lonewolf and Cub adapted into Gangland Mafia; really powerful stuff. |

No, but I have read some of his old articles about Lone Wolf and Cub written back in the Eighties for Asian Cult Cinema magazine. |

Along with Usagi, Hellboy, Beasts of Burden and the Goon are some of my favorite books of all time so I'm glad to see the love. |
