  1. Read Usagi Yojimbo Saga book 1 comprised of volumes 8-10 (590 pages pages from UY 1-16 volume 2 and UY 1-6 volume 3).

    Many great stories including a crossover with the TMNT.

    And, as always, more duels to the death ☠️ - with Usagi always winning.

    Lots of fun samurai action. (thumbsu

  2. Read Usagi Yojimbo volume 6 (163 pages from UY 25-31 and Critters 50).

    Circles storyline follows Usagi and his journey back home and his discovery that his sensei he thought dead is still alive.

    Lots of touching tales like The Duel and Usagi's relationship with his old flame Mariko.

  3. Read Usagi Yojimbo volume 4 (179 pages from UY 13-18 volume 1).

    "The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy" is my favorite Usagi storyline that I've read.  Wonderful story and art full of action.

    Bounty hunter Murikami Gennosuke looses his horn in combat with the blind warrior pig Zato Ino.

    And the story builds to an explosive climax.

    Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Professor Calculus get drawn into political intrigue when their friends Bianca Castafiore and the Thom(p)son are arrested in San Theodoras for espionage.  They end up teaming up with their old acquaintance General Alcazar and the Picaros to lead a coup d’état in the Latin American country and foil the plot of their old enemy from Borduria Colonel Sponsz during carnival.

    This is the last completed Hergé Tintin adventure and so my year of reading Tintin comes to a close (and just in the nick of time).

  5. Read The Castafiore Emerald (1962) for the first time.

    Recurring character Italian singer Bianca Castafiore visits Captain Haddock and Tintin at Marlinespike Hall (much to their chagrin).  Humorous situations, misunderstandings, and intrigue follow leading to the theft of her prized emerald.  Thompson and Thomson are on the case but Tintin cracks it as usual.
