Usagi Yojimbo series by Stan Sakai
This is a truly epic series, currently sitting at 28 volumes of collected issues. First published in 1987, Mr. Sakai is still writing new issues today. This series follows the adventures of a rabbit samurai, during turn of the 17th century Japan. Miyamoto Usagi has lost his master he wanders across Japan, serving honor, right, protecting the weak and innocent. There are a wide variety of storylines and the art work is an amazing blend of cartoony and amazingly detailed. We own about a dozen volumes at our library and while they aren't constantly off the shelves they go through cycles of popularity.
