Missing: Usagi Yojimbo - Fantagraphics TP 1: The Ronin







Hi, is there an existing series this needs to be added to?

Hi there!
I am sorry but, I don’t quite understand what you mean by “series” - I am new here and am still trying to learn the ropes. I believe that these can be added to the “Usagi Yojimbo TP” series - They are the first 7 TPB (published by Fantagraphics) before Stan Sakai went over to Dark Horse Comics (all 7 volumes are missing from CLZ). The Dark Horse series picks up at book 8 and runs through book 33 before Stan went to IDW. The IDW series picks up at book 34 and runs through 38. Then its back to Dark Horse again for 39 onward. I apologize If I am completely missing the mark, here. Hopefully, this helps :slight_smile: Thank you! With all of the different publishers, I am not sure how best to file em.

Okay no worries. I’ll look into this!

Thank you so much! :+1:




Hi, I’m seeing multiple printing dates for these titles. Could you inform me on the date that is noted on the inside? From what I could find, this is printed somewhere after 2007

This one (Book 3) is the 7th printing and was printed in April 2014.

Here are the dates for all 7 volumes shown in the photo:
Book 1: “The Ronin” - 13th Printing - Printed April 2013
Book 2: “Samurai” - 9th Printing - Printed April 2015
Book 3: “The Wanderer’s Road” - 7th Printing - Printed April 2014
Book 4: “The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy” - 6th Printing - Printed February 2013
Book 5: “Lone Goat and Kid” - 5th Printing - Printed May 2012
Book 6: “Circles” - 6th Printing - Printed June 2014
Book 7: "Gen’s Story’ - 6th Printing - Printed October 2014

Again, Thank you so much. I hope this info helps.
I would also be able to provide you with scans of Front/Back Covers as well as the copyright pages for all 7 volumes if that could be of use to you.

Thank you! I think scans of the back only would suffice. The front doesn’t change at all. The main difference is the cover price. You can just drop them all under this post, so it’s easier for you













Could you take a picture of the printing date/indicia of book one please? Just for clarification, all of the printing numbers can get confusing :sweat_smile:

and the indicia for book 4 please

Here you go, Justin! I scanned the Front Cover (F) and Back Cover (B) of all 7 books as well as the Indicia (I) for Books 1 and 4. Let me know if you need the Indicia for the other books and I will get right on it.
Thanks!
Kyle
















All of these have been. Please check them for me and correct me if you’re missing any. Added a lot of them :sweat_smile:

WOW, Justin! Amazing work! Thank you!

I was able to successfully add books 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 with a simple scan of the barcode.

I only ran into a snag on books 4 and 6.

Book 4 is missing the entry for the Feb 2013 edition/printing (which is the one that I have and am trying to add). I also discovered that the price for the fourth printing is showing as $1,890.00. And when the barcode is scanned, it is bringing in Book 5 (#5TP-E) along with the other book 4’s.

Book 6 is missing the 6th Edition/Printing - June 2014 (which is the one that I am attempting to add). Also, when scanning the barcode, it returns 2 results but when scanning the cover, it brings up 7.

I hope this is helpful. And I really appreciate all of your efforts with these. There are over 30 volumes all by various publishers and its been a headache for me just trying to figure out which ones are which :rofl: I can’t imagine how tough it is for you having to wade through all of the multiple print editions of each volume :scream:

Thanks!

Book 4 & 6 have been fixed. Barcodes showing multiple entries isn’t something we can fix. They all share the same barcode except the tiny one at the end. Cover scan is the way to go for this instance. I’ll be working trough the Dark Horse series next. If you have any of those, feel free to drop them here too.

Haha yeh, there were a lot. Luckily most of the Ebay sellers included indicia pics. Found 1 where I had to message the seller. He was happy to help out :grin:
